Time to Call Time On Diets - It's Goodbye to Diets!
Articles - Lifestyle
When new studies come out about diets, it's always wise to see what they say. The latest study is from the Harvard School of Public Health. It found that it really didn't matter which diet you went on, it could be low carb or low fat, whatever...the result from all diets is virtually the same. There is no diet that is better than the other. So, is it goodbye to diets? What it all boils down to is calories in vs. calories out. It's that simple...or is it?

When new studies come out about diets, it's always wise to see what they say. The latest study is from the Harvard School of Public Health. It found that it really didn't matter which diet you went on, it could be low carb or low fat, whatever...the result from all diets is virtually the same. There is no diet that is better than the other. So, is it goodbye to diets? What it all boils down to is calories in vs. calories out. It's that simple...or is it?

The study was a pretty comprehensive one. It involved 800+ people and lasted over two years. One of the major findings was that the weight people lost came back again - in varying degrees. It's a familiar story - very similar to a recent UCLA study which found that you don't achieve permanent weight loss by going on a diet.

The bottom line is that diets don't work. The other thing that they found lacking was any form of structure. People found that there was no clear guidance or support.

If you get the Atkins book, it's a vast tome, written in close type, it's hundreds of pages long. Can people really be expected to wade through all that detail? It has to be a lot simpler than that!

The best way to lose weight is not to go on a diet. It can't be put more simply than that!

Of course losing weight is about calories in and calories out, but it is a bit more than that. It's about making change. You do this by learning new habits, slim habits. These slim habits are about eating and lifestyle. They give you the structure to control the calories in and help you with the calories out too: the result? Permanent weight loss!
