US scientists conducting a comprehensive review of dieting research have concluded that dieting does not work. The study is published in the April edition of American Psychologist, the journal of the American Psychological Association. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), reviewed 31 long-term studies lasting between 2 to 5 years.
UCLA associate professor of psychology and lead author of the study, Traci Mann said: "You can initially lose 5 to 10 percent of your weight on any number of diets, but then the weight comes back."
"We found that the majority of people regained all the weight, plus more," she added.
The researchers found a very small minority of study participants managed to sustain weight loss, while the majority put all the weight back on, and more in the longer term."Diets do not lead to sustained weight loss or health benefits for the majority of people," said Dr Mann. Dr Mann and colleagues sought to determine the long term effects of dieting and address the question "Would they have been better off to not go on a diet at all?".
So they analyzed every study they could find that followed people on diets for 2 to 5 years. Studies that take less than 2 years are "too short to show whether dieters have regained the weight they lost," they said.
They discovered that it would have been better for most of them if they had not gone on a diet at all. Read more...

Comments: What we have long known at The Health & Wellness Institute does not need to be researched or for that matter, tax money wasted on what should already be known. A diet plan is normally a way of eating and cooking that probably doesn't fit your tastes or lifestyle. Not that all healthy foods are going to be what your pallet craves, but you've got to adjust to a diet that not only is healthy and you enjoy, but you know you can live with for the rest of your life. The Vice Busting Diet Plan is more of a plan for busting your diet vices - foods or drinks that are unhealthy and high in calories that you're consuming on a regular basis and contributing to your extra weight - and adding healthy foods that you enjoy in their place. In this way, you build a healthy lifestyle that you can live with, as opposed to trying to live with someone else's plan for you. Check out The Vice Busting Diet Plan and get started on a healthy life.
