Dieting Does Not Work, Researches Report

Brief quote from the article.
"People on diets typically lose 5 to 10 percent of their starting weight in the first six months, the researchers found. However, at least one-third to two-thirds of people on diets regain more weight than they lost within four or five years, and the true number may well be significantly higher, they said.

"Although the findings reported give a bleak picture of the effectiveness of diets, there are reasons why the actual effectiveness of diets is even worse," Mann said. "


What do they mean by dieting? Is that like eating one meal a day or a certain type of food?

For me dieting is like only eating this and this types of foods,
interesting read thou.

well i mean this depends on the diet they have now if you go on a stupid no carb diet offcourse your gonna gain back mass amounts of weight once you get off of it but if you just start drinking diet pop and use slenda instead of sugar and not use as much salt you will keep the weight off
