diets and weight lose

 

Can you keep the weight off and reduce fat

There are experts who now say that people might want to forgo commercial diet programs altogether. The temporary and modest weight losses with commercial diet programs are not a surprise, according to Dr. Wadden, because no one knows how to achieve permanent weight loss.

Currently there are very few regulations or controls to inform and protect the dieting consumer. Weight loss "success" is only vaguely defined using short-term results and weight loss "failure” is always blamed on the consumer, and health risks are not disclosed. The few regulations that do exist are rarely, or at most, loosely enforced.

People of all sizes are misled about the extent and severity of the health risks associated with being fat. We are told that being thin is the only way to good health, and that dieting makes people thin.

     Many health problems traditionally attributed to "obesity," such as high blood pressure, heart problems, high cholesterol, and gallbladder problems, are often caused by the dieting process itself.

The following regulations should be adopted

That regulations be adopted that require the diet industry to publish five-year (minimum) follow-up studies and "success" rates. All such statistics must be verifiable by objective outside researchers and clearly displayed on all diet products and advertising.

That individuals considering dieting study available literature on long-term results and side effects and carefully weigh the possible benefits and risks of dieting.

That people who diet refuse to feel guilty or blame themselves for presumed lack of willpower if a diet fails.

That consumer protection agencies such as Consumers Union, conduct biannual studies on the efficacy of diet products and programs.
