Just over a week ago, this story appeared in my HND column, and has already garnered more posted comments than any article I have ever written for that publication. This piece details the story behind the incredible success of nutritionist Diane Kress’ Metabolism Miracle books.
Combining common sense and good science, Diane blows the lid off the conventional wisdom, and explains why diets don’t work for at least half the people. The answer is that at least 50% of the population has what she calls “Metabolism B”—a condition whereby your body improperly controls insulin.
Type 2 diabetes and obesity are two of the more obvious symptoms of “Met B,” but there are dozens of others. The good news is that in many cases, no drugs are needed to reverse Met B, lose weight, and get your numbers back to where they should be.
The other side of this, of course, is that the institutionalized purveyors of the killer conventional wisdom should be shamed and condemned out of existence. Read the complete article.

Nope, what you see is what I got. –Ed.
There’s one born every day. 100 patients does not constitute a valid study in any field. Plus, since the author is now going to cure every health problem known to man with her new “magic” solution, it’s undoubtedly not science. Weight loss is a complex emotional and physical process. Some people do have higher metabolic rates than others. And some diets work for one person and not another. This is not breaking news–just a rehash and repackaging of known variables in an attempt to sell one’s apparently very lazy research (seriously, 100 people?). Reminds me of every other infomercial out there.
I agree, the lonewolf, fighting the rigid establishment, ostrasized, a boat rocker. But, she perservers to uncover the “truth”. Everything about this shouts “scam”. Move along, nothing to see here…
