According to a recent survey by About.com Health alongside InsightExpress, people who diet could quite due to being tired of dieting . Many dieters, the research confirmed, try out a whole range of different diet plans before they achieve the right results.
Apparently, some 30 per cent of respondents to the survey have undertaken between three and five different diets during their lifetime, while some 25 per cent have tried to diet at least 20 times. The most popular types of diet attempted included WeightWatchers, the Atkins Diet, the South Beach Diet and Slim-Fast .
Despite attempts at losing weight, some 60 per cent of respondents put weight back on when the diets finished, with many seeing lost weight return and even increase. The medical director of About.com Health, Kate Grossman, reportedly commented: "We're seeing that consumers are leaning on commercial and fad diets that follow a rigid program and don't necessarily establish eating habits that the dieter can maintain over the long-term."
