Thank you for your post. I disagree with the point that one shouldn't "rely on will power." That's, IMO, silly. Not just as to weight loss, but to all aspects of the human endeavor.

The berry group was fed 100 grams of whole bilberries, 50 grams of lingonberry-rich nectar, and 100 grams of blackcurrants, strawberries, or raspberry-chokeberry juice every other day. The control group received non-berry “fruit placebos”,… Continue
