We knew that going on a diet is not the best way to go about losing weight (Dangers of dieting).
Now, UCLA’s study confirms that dieting is a consistent predictor of future weight gain.
( What!? )
UCLA researchers report in the April issue of American Psychologist, the journal of the American Psychological Association that majority of people regain weight and then some. (You mean all those diet commercials are lies?!).
Initially folks lost 5% to 10%. On any diet!
UCLA team conducted most comprehensive and rigorous analysis of diet studies, analyzing 31 long-term studies.
The end results? Majority regained weight and then some.
Diets, in other words, are not sustainable and lead to weight gain.
Want to lose weight? Stay away from diets (Read about Metabolic Setpoint. It will help you to lose fat and keep it off).
