This is a fine example of mediocrity, making things sound a hundred times more difficult than they really are for the sake of making a point. The blog post is so badly riddled with fallacies that it becomes hard to figure out what the author tries to convey. An example: the author mentions that you can diet for months, with incredible effort, and still not lose weight. He's basically appealing to the reader's emotions, making you remember that last failed diet in which you ended up gaining weight. But guess what? You DIDN'T work hard enough! That's all there's to it. You just have the impression that you did. I can say this from experince, after failing many times and finally realizing what it takes. Articles like this support the invisible walls we create for ourselves, for work, for our diets, for our addictions.
