Like the study said, one needs to STICK to it. But who can (and wants) to stick to a diet their whole life? Not me. So you need to learn how to eat all foods - the good & the "bad" - and include both of them in your diet. Of course, it's a balancing act :-) I also must say that all calories are NOT equal. I'm sorry, but if you eat M&M's all day and consume 1,000 calories a day you will lose weight, but not for long. Same goes if you ONLY eat carrot sticks all day at 1,000 calories (though that's almost impossible to do) -- you'll lose weight but won't keep it off for long. (who the heck wants to live on a diet of carrot sticks anyway?) But I think you get my point. So, thought they say dieting works--they also point out you must stick to it. And "dieting" for life is NOT the answer. You need to have a healthy relationship with ALL foods, and learn how to balance the healthy & the "guilty" ones so you can LIVE a happy life. Don't diet for life. I’m going to jump in here & say that yes, diets can work in the short-term, but for LASTING results, just “dieting” is not going to do it.

It's amazing how you lose the weight if you exercise and eat right. It works… calories in… calories out. It’s amazing how you lose the weight if you exercise and eat right.
