It happens to us all: we indulge a little bit too much on holiday treats, and pick up some extra pounds. This leads to the ever-popular New Year's Diet Plan Resolution to take the weight back off. But, if you are going lose weight and keep it off, a fad diet is not going to work. Instead, you need to make permanent, healthy, lifestyle changes.
New Year's Diet Plans come in a number of forms. Some rely on extremely limited caloric intake. Others require eating specific foods such as grapefruits, cabbage soup or even specially made cookies. The only thing that these fad diets have in common is this: they do not work. A stunning ninety-five percent of those who lose weight by going on a diet will regain what they lost in one to five years.
Part of the reason for this is that diets, by definition, are short term endeavors. And, as soon as you are off your diet, you will likely go back to your previous eating habits. Additionally, many diets are so restrictive that they cause adherents to rebel and binge eat. And, once you've cheated on your diet, it is that much harder to get back on track. Many people slip up and then give up altogether.
