Goal setting helps cut type 2 diabetes risk

A red herring.

"Adults may be able to reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes as they age simply by setting diet and exercise goals and sticking to those goals, study findings hint.

Older men and women who self-monitored their behavior and set healthier diet and physical activity goals not only lost weight and body mass over a year, but maintained their losses after 3 years, researchers report in the journal Diabetes Care."

It is all about the weight and losing the excess.

Then all is better.

However, simple it is not, as the conventional diet schemes are "Executioners' Diets."

Also flawed are the fitness program schemes.

Together they stymie the efforts of those who sincerely want and try to lose weight and get physically fitter.
