Actually most diets fail because you stop dieting AND when you do, you now have decreased your metabolic rate and increased your production of hunger hormone. In summary you are way more likely to fail keeping a stable weight after dieting then you were before.
The failure rate is something like 98%

- CuriousSkeptic 9y agoThis is very true. We just need to avoid recommending unsustainable diets based on calories in/out thinking. Since they all ultimately fail. Also why settle for a decreased metabolic rate when you could actually increase it and enjoy the extra energy instead. No need to feel miserable the rest of your life.
