Scientists Say Dieting Does Not Work

How discouraging. However, my advice is to remember that diets do not work, lifestyle changes are always preferred. Secondly, any individual is not necessarily the average. Every study has outliers. Be the outlier!

Scientists Say Dieting Does Not Work:

"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."
