A diet lasts for a fixed period of time and then once the diet has run its course, that is it. Dieting has been around for a long time and is as popular as ever. When this happens most people go onto the next diet and the same results happen again and the cycle continues.

Even when people have successfully lost weight they soon put it back on again shortly after they have finished their diet. I am not saying that some diets will not be successful at making you lose weight.

However, what I cannot seem to work out is, if diets are so popular why are so many people getting fatter. There have been diets that people have used and have successfully lost weight. Dieting becomes an addiction that is fuelled by the highs of losing weight and the lows of quickly putting it back on again. The reason what they are ineffective at keeping the weight off is because the way they are designed. This creates the need to chase after the next fad diet in the hope that this will solve the problem. The point that I am making is that diets do not work when it comes to keeping the weight off.

I soon realised that diets do not work.
