But does the weight loss diet really work? It is logical that our answer may vary depending on whether there is weight loss or not. A diet works if it makes us lose weight, period. But a recent debate raises doubts as to whether diets work in the long term. So, the correct question at this point would be: does the diet work if I don’t regain the weight I lost after losing weight? Here already the answer becomes more complicated. According to a British survey involving some industry experts, diets are a billion-dollar business that will increase by 2017 with mind-boggling estimates.: diet apps, books, blogs and sites, newspapers and magazines, TV programs, many in replacement, let’s face it with the nutritionist. All that goes to burden our pockets but which could prove to be a simple waste of time for our health.

These experts, each of them with a different approach to nutrition and dietary regimes (dieticians, personal trainers, hypnotists, therapists, behavioral psychologists) gave a different answer: half of them say that going on a diet is a total loss of time , unanimity, both against and in favor of the diet, however, affirm that the diet to work must radically change our lifestyle . In short, a diet is forever, in a certain sense, that is, it does not only last the time of weight loss, but in maintenance it becomes a dietary regime that must be observed throughout life. For this reason it is important that the diet is feasible, close to our habits, absolutely not drastic, suitable for long periods and not short ones. Only in this way could we say that yes, dieting works.
