One of the biggest misconceptions that people have when trying to lose weight is that if they could only get by on less food, the pounds will drop off. Unfortunately, that sets them up to fail. The body is designed to survive in times of famine, so when it senses a reduction in caloric intake, it slows down its metabolism and hangs on as hard as possible to its fat stores.
Anais gave me a link to a page about it a while back.
I remember a teacher I used to work with went to one of those weight loss places and she used to complain about all the food they wanted her to eat. Since she refused to eat it all, she never lost weight.
