This is great news because I love garlic, but I heard it has to be raw and uncooked to reap the full benefits.
From what I read on your bio, the problem you had to overcome was learning how to gain weight, not lose it. Stick with what you know. True scientific studies in obesity are not about "trying to shift the blame", they are about a search for accurate etiological factors contributing to this widespread epidemic.
Your quote: "It's very simple: YOU made yourself fat and unhealthy, and only YOU can change that!" — While I agree that everyone is ultimately responsible for making healthy changes in their life, there are a multitude of factors constantly interplaying with one another making this problem far more dynamic and difficult to manage.
I disagree. I think some people really are genetically at a disadvantage for becoming overweight or obese.
