Weight Loss - Why 95% Of People Fail By: Karen Guttridge
Ninety-five percent of all dieters gain the all weight back. And more. For all the multitude of weight loss diets, pills, plans and gadgets there are even more depressing reports reminding us that absolutely nothing seems to work over the long term for about 19 out of 20 people who try them.
Yet we persist. We are dogged in our determination to find the magic bullet out there which will finally allow us to live in peace with our alarmingly yo-yoing body weight. "Several studies indicate that regular dieting is actually a consistent predictor of future weight gain," said Janet Tomiyama, a UCLA graduate student of psychology.
One study found that both men and women who participated in formal weight-loss programmes gained significantly more weight over a two-year period than those who had not participated in a weight-loss programme at all, she said.
There are some common factors shared by folks who are most likely to regain their weight. Not surprisingly lots of time spent in front of the television and computer is one of them. Losing too much weight too fast, either by fad or extreme dieting will dramatically increase the likelihood of rebellion and feelings of deprivation and triggers binges. And I would also add not having a compelling enough reason for wanting to stay slim.
The unfortunate illusion for many is that a person can temporarily deprive him or herself and then, once having achieved the "right" weight, can go back to all the old habits that caused the person to gain the weight in the first place.
