Kong-sized Reaction to our Peter Jackson Weight Loss Article
When I first set out to investigate the secret behind movie maker Peter Jackson's spectacular 70lb weight loss, I hoped there'd be some people as curious as I was to discover the truth.Little did I imagine the sensation my findings would cause when I finally revealed them in a short article on ObesityCures.com!
In a little over a month, thousands and thousands of people have visited the Peter Jackson Weight Loss page on the site to read about the "Skull Island Diet," which is really more a deceptively simple lifestyle change than a diet.
It wasn't long before the mainstream media picked up on the article, with ObesityCures.com featuring in the big-circulation New York Post on December 7. I don't want to give anything away, but a national television appearance may soon follow! I know this smacks of a Kong-like chest beating exercise, but every now and then I can't resist indulging in a bit of old fashioned boasting. I'd like to think that the interest sparked by the article is further proof that ObesityCures.com readers really are better informed than most when it comes to weight loss and obesity related news. If you haven't read the article yet, click on the link below to visit our Peter Jackson weight loss page and see what all the fuss is about. If you've already read the article, it's still worth a visit because we've updated the page with links to a really funny photographic time line of Jackson's weight loss and to the New York Post article...

In the developed world these days, the closest we get to famine is when we work through lunch. It can be a battle to keep our weight under control in the face of everyday food temptations. End of year feasts can tip us right over the edge. But it need not be like that. Here are five simple tips to beat the festive season fat traps… and the inevitable guilt that follows.
