I am avoiding diets because they only end up with me gaining more weight further down the road.
Everyone remember the 'Biggest Loser' show? Turns out some researchers followed-up with a statistically-
significant sample size of contestants, a little less than 200. About 93% re-gained their weight
after the show (> 1yr) and of that 93%, half gained back MORE than they lost (around 10% more).
The show gave contestants access to great food, exercise, trainers, diet counselling ... on a
per-person basis this was thousands and thousands of dollars that most people can never afford to
spend themselves - and STILL the outcome was ... gain more weight :-(
Edging closer and closer to the idea that the only choice now is surgery (scares the HECK out of me!)
