The author of the story says "We have been pretending that it is easy to replace a diet of soft drinks and fast food with home-cooked meals, fresh fruits and vegetables".
Diet soda costs the same as regular soda. I drink diet cream soda, diet root beer, diet iced tea, and water. Hell, water is free.
A 175 pound guy can eat a bowl of cereal in the morning, a big mac and fries for lunch, and 4 slices of pizza for dinner and LOSE a pound a week. A 125 pound woman can eat a bowl of cereal in the morning, a big mac and fries for lunch, and 2 slices of pizza for dinner and maintain her weight.
It's all the extra snacks, beer, and drinks. The real problem is still discipline.
