Being an overweight person myself, I was personally impressed by Governor Huckabee's weight loss feat: managing to lose over 100lb in one year, and perhaps more importantly to keep it off, requires a huge amount of personal discipline. Anyone who's tried to lose more than 50lb, and keep it off, can testify to how much discipline and determination is needed to do that. I read an interesting article about Huckabee here - http://www.projectweightloss.com/news-1-107332-Weight_Loss_Success:_The_Mike_Huckabee_Diet.html - where his diet is summarized. Basically it has to do with a radical and permanent lifestyle change. Go Huckabee!
