I am a great believer in AA so think OA could possibly work as long term support.
Let us be honest here, many many people put all the weight they lose on Lipotrim [or any diet] back on. This is because, I believe, food addiction is as serious and as debilitating as any alcohol or drug addiction.
A programme of abstinence probably has to be a life long thing. By this I don't mean abstinence from food per say but abstinence from certain "trigger" foods, for many people these are sugar and refined carbohydrates [white bread, white pasta, white rice, all cakes/sweets etc].
I think people that believe that when they lose the weight they can go back to having the occasional cake are deluded and will unfortunately put all the weight back on. [Because they are not truely understanding their addiction]. It is like saying to an alcoholic that they can have one beer, eventually control is lost and one beer/cake becomes a belly full.
Views please.
