Re: Reply to my email to authors of Obesity Study (Online JAMA)

[Guest guest]

Dear Ms. Mc,

Thank you for your email--I am always pleased and excited to hear about

individuals who have found a way to handle their medical problems using

diet,

and I agree that there is much that is important for the complications of

obesity that may result from the " typical " diet. We also believe that

activity

(energy expenditure) plays a role in controlling body weight, but the answer

for

some individuals may certainly lie only on the intake side. I wish you the

best

of luck in the future.

I gotta put my computer back in the shop ... for the *third* time this week

{growl}.

Hope to be back online tonight, kiddies.

Still haven't had the opportunity to do the TIME email, Vicki.

Hugs,

Susie
