I’m putting together some thoughts about eating as it relates to compulsive overeating and weight loss, and in the process, have been poking around looking for useful links on the science of carbs. More about that soon. But in the meantime, I’ve turned up a couple of blogs by folks in the weight loss biz. Since they ultimately are selling, you have to take them with a large grain of salt. But they might be worth adding to your blogroll.

For example, Mary Dan Eades (of Protein Power fame) now has a blog. Here’s a blog from a weight loss coach and hypnotherapist. Then there’s a blog from Jonny Bowden. I’m surprised I haven’t heard about Bowden in all my travels, but from what little I’ve read, I like his philosophy so far.

Here’s an example from a recent post:

If you just use weight loss as the only measurement for success, you not only miss the boat, you don’t even get a life raft. …

No one plan works for everyone! Not low-carb, not high-carb. Not calorie counting, not vegan, not fasting, not high-protein, not orange food, not canola and fructose. We are metabolically and biochemically unique. It is the ultimate vanity to think that because you have discovered something that may work for your particular metabolism at this particular time that it is a universal principle that everyone who wants the same results should do.

Amen!
