Diets Don't Work Diets Don't Work
Save Tip

Never go on a diet! Statistics show that going on and off diets will actually increase your chance of permanent weight gain. Skipping meals is a common mistake that dieters make. While this will lead to a lower calorie intake, it will also trigger your body to slow down your metabolism in order to conserve energy, thus causing you to burn fewer calories.

OzzieOcean I always tell people that diets do not work, the only thing that does work is changing your eating habits. Make a few slow positive changes at a time, and the weightloss will be visible rather quickly, but more than that, you will feel better and sleep better. It is not a diet, it is a way of life!
