No perfect diets, they all work the same!

Filed Under: Diet & Weight Loss

Looking for the perfect diet? Well it doesn't exist. And not just in terms of one perfect diet for everybody, but experts are now saying there's no perfect diet for each individual either. Recent research shows that regardless of what kinds of diets people use, they generally lose the same amount of weight (about 10-15 pounds) and then gain it back over generally the same amount of time (3 to 5 years).

Does this make sense to you? I still believe that some diets are easier for some people to stick with based on their individual personalities, but maybe nobody is sticking with anything for more than 10 or 15 pounds?

Not only do they all work the same, they don't work at all! like they said up there
"lose the same amount of weight (about 10-15 pounds) and then gain it back''
And make it harder to lose the weight again. The only way to lose weight is to make a lifestyle change! anyone who thinks they can magically lose weight by eating nothing but grapes (as the picture implies), yeah you'll lose the weight, but unless you want to go on eating nothing but grapes, its coming right back! good, healthy, whole food and excersise is the only way to lose the weight and keep it off.

I lost 15 pounds after eating wholefoods that I ordered from http://www.farminabag.com I purchased the New You resolution kit and am doing the Liquithon. I am eating the food in the kit along w/fruits and veggies. It is very satisfying and filling, I also got rid of the cravings for junk. Check out the site and read the ingredients, sometimes we need to back track to get ahead,and to lose in order to win.~`:-joanna
