th and also is, south carolina is going to ha twice as many liberal and moderate voters as iowa, sohen you look at it, you give advantage, donald trump, when you go into south carolina. >> and he probably has the lead going in. let's talk about the democrats. that debate tonight. a lot of commentary swling around hillary clinton's debate strategy. does she go very, very positive, put forward a vision, some people said she hasn't done that or is now the time to really try to take dodown bernie sanders? >> well, listen, george, she's been wounded and she's bleeding so the first thing she needs to do is apply a tourniquet and stopping beding so she doesn't lose nevada the next state up. what i would do if i were her prosecute the case directly against bernie sanders and ignore the moderators and basically say in a calm, cool, stng way prosecute the case saying the only person on this ste that can get anything done is me. your ideas are great. they're aspirational but the i would turn to him and

headline for the millions of americans frying to lose weight. two-thds of u.s. adults are classified as overweight or obese and aew study from johns hopkins says those popular weight loss centers that so many us may not be helping. dr. jennifer ashton is here with the details. what's going on? >> if you are overweight or obese and in my office i would likely counsel you about the importance of losing weight and then might likely refer youou to e of these weight loss centers to help you because thihis is an ordeal. so what this stutudy did, they did a report card in an urban area of medical weight loss centers and what they found, ty didn't do so well. there is a lot of room f improvement. one of the findings was about 1% only follow the actual medical guidines in helping patients lose weight. fewer than one in three are actually supervised by a physician. and only about 3% are recoendi the proper amount

so, again, not such good report card here. >> these are shocking numbmbers. >> yeah. >> why are they not following the requirements? >>e don't know. i mean, my take on this is a number of possible explanations. number e, a center may choose deliberately to pursue their own approach, which is fines long as you're transparent about it and want to follow your own recipe. what would be more c concerninif they were actually unaware that there were real guidineshat should ideal be followed and, lastly, obviously there could be financial gain here and it could be a scam so this is a scenario where patients need to proceed with caution. >> congratulations, you are just newly -- >> yes. >> board certified when it comes to obesity medicine. there is some research out there that shows why it is so difficult for many to lose weight. >> right, we know based on the obeseeit medicine data in some cases losing a sigficant amountnt of weight may not be as simple as eating carrotticks

this is a complex issue wh multiplecauses. there are metabolic asons, hormonal reason, environmental reasons, exposure in utero, behavioral, genetic. this is a war on obesity, so we need an army to fight it. >> jen, you know so many peopople, they see these centers in malls, in strip malls and all around. what i is your recmendation. >> well,roceed with caution. okay, there are a couple of tips. nun one, you want to be clear about your goals. are you going to lose 200 pounds or going becausese you're trying to lose 200 pounds andnd ask about the credentials of the people operating these centers. >> good. >> that should bep front. it's not a secret. you are entitled to kw their qualifications. ideally, people can go to t internet and read the american heart association and obesity society guideles on weight loss from 2013. it's a magnum opus but it is there and accessie for everyone to look at and, laststly, you have to factor in cost. we say it all the time.

but getting good health can also be expensi and so cost has to be factored in. >> wonderful suggestions right there. congratulations again. >> thank you. >> like she needs anonother title. doesn't have enough going on. a little bit of free time. jen will answer your questions. tweet her drjenashton. kimim kardashn opening up about baby number two and starting a parenting debate. what experts are saying this rning. lara is live on the "scandal" set getting unprecedented access with the entire cast like you've never seen before. plus, tory johnson is here with some great "deals & steals" to keep your family warm as the temperature drops, a and it is getting colder. we got some beards and great ideas. all ming up live right here on "gma" in times square. where is my jacket? it is freezing. what's going on?
