Appologies if this was posted already, I looked and didn't see it-

The Myths of Losing Weight

Put down that bag of baked potato chips and listen up. Gary Taubes, the author of Why We Get Fat—and What to Do About It, has some controversial opinions about the reasons Americans are obese (33 percent of us are—up from 13 percent just 40 years ago) and how we can slim down.

Actually, that article, read on a plane, led me here. And changed me forever. I am quite happy.

Good for you!

RD on the plane? What were you thinking! haha

I got the kindle app for the ipad... lots of good books on it and always there. (Unless I lose it)

I have a Kindle; actually just ordered a new one since I dropped my original one once too often. RD serves its purpose in life. It's great for non-readers.

My husband calls it a true addiction and sees me get a bit crazy when we are actively traveling and I haven't read in a while.
