Is Operation Boot Camp the Extreme Workout America Needs?

Operation Boot Camp is getting a lot of attention this week.

Why? Because, it seems, that everything extreme in this country hits the news eventually (among other reasons).

Here's a typical Operation Boot Camp testimonial in a recent article from CNN:

"Two years ago, Tim Lenczowski dreaded walking from the parking lot into his office."

And now?

"Eight months later he had lost a total of 120 pounds. To date, Lenczowski has run five full marathons and 12 half-marathons, accomplishments he would have thought impossible five years ago."

So ... why wouldn't this be a good thing? Old Tim got the results that he desired, didn't he?

Well, if you want to read some lame and uninspired reasons, consult this blog article: "7 Reasons to Not Try Operation Boot Camp." [we are unimpressed by this blog's thinking]

We here at the Diets Suck blog are strong advocates of exercise. However, we are mostly advocates of what works in a healthy and sustainable manner. To us its simple --- we are skeptics regarding the sustainability issue relative to Operation Boot Camp. We believe that a good workout is a great idea and what America needs. However, people who need to loose over 100 lbs. need first to have a serious and extreme conversation with their family doctor.
