Don't Expect Amylin to Eat the Obesity Market's Lunch

I think there is another perspective to weight loss that hasn't been mentioned in the comments. It is off topic from your article and for that I apologize. However, it might provide some value to another reader, so I will give a short blurb.

For many people, food is their medication of choice when they feel bad. In our society (and most societies) food is part of all major celebrations and gatherings. So we associate food with good feelings. And parents use food to calm and reward their children. So it isn't surprising that when bad emotional times hit, people reach for the fatty, sweet, and salty munchies. Unfortunately, it only serves as a temporary palliative, and doesn't relieve the underlying emotional need.

There are many effective ways of dealing with that underlying emotional need. In my opinion the best of them are outside of conventional and mainstream psychiatric intervention. One of the best I have found is called EFT. Simple, fast, easy, and effective. If you are in the category that finds yourself eating to relieve/forget emotional pain, you might want to head on over to emofree.com or do a web search for EFT. I recommend you download the free eft manual, and also the free palace of possibilities manual. After that you can read some of the archived newsletters on the site to get a feel for how actual people have used it for a wide variety of issues.

It's free, what have you got to lose? Except a few pounds. And some emotional baggage. ;-)
