> just like diet and exercise stop working if you stop them I suppose, but that assumes you are viewing them as temporary weight loss interventions rather than lifestyle. The key is to want to be healthy, and to arrive at a sustainable balance of nutrition and exercise level that works for you to stay at a healthy weight. Fad diets where you are denying yourself pleasures, or going hungry are not sustainable, nor is any extreme exercise regime that you find unpleasant or does not comfortably fit in with your routine.
