The obesity epidemic is a serious concern and as a consequence strategies to lose weight have become a multimillion dollar enterprises.
Using fad diets weight can melt off easily. Some include the:
1. The low or no carb diet.
2. The grapefruit diet.
3. The liquid diet
4. The Acai Berry diet
5. And the Dangerous HCG diet that involves almost total starvation
But these diets may be doomed to failure.
Weight is lost but returns with a vengeance.
But what does work?
The most important approach is to develop lifelong eating and lifestyle habits that promote weight stability.
A recent study has shown that of all available diets weight watchers holds the most promise.
The reasons for the success relate to:
1. Education about how to eat right
2. Weekly weigh ins
3. Accountability and have to pay a price
4. Support groups
5. Motivation
