Carnivore diet, Atkins diet, Paleo diet, Cookie diet -- where did all of these diets come from and do any of them actually work!? On this episode of the Ben & Ellie Show, we talk about the most common New Year's Resolution: to lose weight. And, if so many people are interested in losing weight these days, why does it appear that we have a growing obesity problem in this country? Do these fad diets really work? Do pharmeceutical and healthcare companies really want you to lose weight? Have we as a society grown too comfortable and at ease with our easy access to food? (Hint: It might be all three.) Tune in and let us know what you think!
