Time to Call Time On Diets - It's Goodbye to Diets!

By Henry John

There is a very interesting report in a recent edition of The New England Journal of Medicine has found that it really doesn't matter whether you go on a low carb diet, a high protein diet, a low fat diet an Atkins diet, a Zone diet or even an Ornish diet, it all boils down to the number of calories you take in and the number of calories you expend...so it's calories in and calories out. Goodbye to diets then?

This study took place over two years and involved over 800 people so it was a pretty broad study. What all the groups found in the study was that their weight came back again in varying degrees. This is a similar experience to a larger study by researchers at UCLA who found that over 95% of people who went on a diet never achieved permanent weight loss.

It's becoming more and more obvious that diets really don't work. They don't supply any form of structure for the dieter either. Structure and support are essential for a successful outcome.

Most diet books, Atkins included are over-complicated and difficult to follow. Not everybody who wants to lose weight has a university degree! Weight loss programs need to be clear and simple to follow.

If you're thinking of losing weight then you really don't want to go on a diet - certainly if you want to lose weight permanently - and who doesn't!

It is of course about calories in and calories out and this can be put into a very simple and structured format of habits, slim habits, habits that include what you eat and how much you eat. Habits about calories and about exercise. Only by learning new habits can you get rid of your old bad habits and achieve permanent weight loss. - 17269
