Please, Paul, Make Me Thin!

Yes, because it's really that easy. Some balding British guy with cool glasses and a pinstriped suit can make you thin, just like that. His schtick (TM):
-You won't count calories
-You won't depend on exercise
-You won't sabotage yourself
-You WILL eat the foods you love!
Apparently, you've been wasting your time trying to understand metabolism, eating habits, your own attitudes toward food, and the mysteries of exercise. Though I will agree that gobs of us DO sabotage ourselves in one way or another. So now you need an audio hypnosis guide. To regain control of your weight.

BUT:
The Problem With Paul (PWP) is that truly, some people DO need to count calories, and some people DO need to focus on exercise. And it's not a breakthrough to realize that ALL of us need to eat the foods we love -- in moderation. I'll bet any given diet works for about 5% of the population, and the other 95% need to find and follow the diets that work for THEM!

But if it works for that 5%: great. Good luck to everyone else. Thanks Paul -- see you on Oprah.
