Diet Programs May Not Cut Disease Risk
January 28th, 2011 - 10:41 pm ICT by Angela Kaye MasonJan 28 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Many weight loss programs, pill manufacturers, and other diet aides have been preaching for quite some time how dieting can help improve health, and that weight loss programs are the way to fight off diseases, but a new study suggests that this is not the case since most dieters gain the weight back.
Australian research which was posted in the International Journal of Obesity suggests that these weight loss plans will need to make some major changes if there is any hope of them having lasting effects on the human body. After studying the computer simulated diet programs which were ran for the study, both low fat diets, and a whole grain/veggie diet with weekly exercise added helped the participants to lose weight. In both cases, however, the weight came back after six months.
Aside from these findings, Australian research shows that only about three percent of the population would even attempt a diet program. The author of the study, Lennert Veerman from the University of Queensland explained, “Interventions that try to change the behavior of individuals but do nothing about the environment in which these people live, are likely to have modest and temporary effects at best.”
