I think it's what you actually have to do. There was some discussion of emotional reasons for eating." <br />Ermm - sorry? I find this statement frankly dismissive and kidological. What I have found at the core of BC is a deep self-love, a new appreciation of why I have overeaten in the past and new ways to deal with feelings. Eating less and moving more are just part of this process..<br /><br />"..I would just like to add further that I would question really how BC can run as a commercial concern - after all the diet industry has been successful in selling an approach that fails rather than one that is successful". <br />I really don't see the logic in this statement at all! Many industries such as 'green' investment started small but have become massive as the scales have fallen from people's eyes about the unethical funds our major banks have invested in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-69849613538404845672011-01-06T15:55:23.740+00:002011-01-06T15:55:23.740+00:00Couldn't someone have have talked about intuit...Couldn't someone have have talked about intuitive eating in general?

I think actually think it's fair enough that the BBC didn't not want to be seen to be advertising a commercial concern. <br /><br />It's a real pity that nobody phoned in and talked about the principles without explicitly mentioning BC. That would have been helpful. Also I guess if there were a number of calls it could have looked like a campaign to get on.<br /><br />'eat less but don't deprive yourself and move more'<br />Ermm...isn't this basically at the core of BC really?
