Specifically, it is harder to lose 30 lbs than to quit smoking. That is why people call it a disease, it acts like one.
If you want to lose more than 30 lbs, you have three choices:
1) Get a gastric bypass. This works over 95% of the time.
2) Hire a personal trainer AND a personal chef to cook most of your meals. This works most of the time - and is the method that Hollywood stars use, not whatever they claim on the advertisements for weightloss products.
3) Give yourself a severe psychological complex. Basically you have to drive yourself insane where you obsess about eating and exercising.
Jenny Craig, Weightwatchers, etc. can work for short term periods - but they fail over 99% of the time when talking about years, rather than months.
