Why Weight

Dieting? Don't Go on Another One Before You Read This!

By Roz Watkins

Have you ever lost weight on a diet?

Did you put it back on again? Did you blame yourself for being greedy, lazy or some combination of the two?

The sad truth is that the vast majority of people who lose weight from dieting put it all back on. Most put on more weight than they lost.

The effects of following a low fat, reduced calorie diet were shown in an experiment carried out in the Korean War on conscientious objectors.

These were young healthy men of a variety of sizes, with no history of weight or health problems. They were put on a low fat diet of 1500 calories a day (positively generous by modern standards).

So, what happened to these men?

The men constantly thought, talked and even dreamed about food. Some of them became so obsessed with the delights of food that they decided to become chefs after the experiment ended.

Many of the men could not stick to the diet and ate secretly. The men became more anxious and depressed. They had difficulty concentrating on tasks and they began to withdraw from other people.

Two of the men had emotional breakdowns and one even cut off the end of his finger! it appeared that he did this in the hope that he would be excused from the study. Men who had had no previous concerns about their appearance or weight became more critical of their bodies. Some of the men complained about feeling overweight even though they had lost weight.

After the diet

At the end of the dieting period, many of the men found that they could not stop eating when they were full. Some were eating up to 10,000 calories a day. After the study was over, the men continued to be preoccupied with food and some reported that their cravings were even worse than when they were on the restricted diet.

Ten of the fifteen men who were still in touch with the researchers became so anxious about their weight that they put themselves on another diet and a few were continuing to eat huge quantities of food.

Three months after the experiment, 15 out of the 24 men were still very concerned about food or weight, and this continued for a further eight months after the diet was over.

Now, do you want to try another low fat, reduced calorie diet?

The unfortunate truth is that dieting actually makes you fatter. Although you may lose weight in the short term, numerous studies have now shown that at least 95% of people put the weight back on. Recent research has shown that people who go on diets end up fatter than people of the same starting weight who don't bother.

It is possible to lose weight and keep it off but you have to do it in a way which puts you back in touch with your feelings of hunger and fullness, so you are able to eat when you are hungry and (this is the bit people struggle with at first!) stop when you are full.
