This makes no sense to me. Quote from the article: "If dieting doesn’t work, what should we do instead? I recommend mindful eating — paying attention to signals of hunger and fullness, without judgment, to relearn how to eat only as much as the brain’s weight-regulation system commands." From the dictionary: di·et - verb - restrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food in order to lose weight. So instead of dieting they are suggesting dieting? What about a huge number of people who did lose weight permanently and successfully through calorie restriction?
