Most dieters do this to lose weight in an effort to 'look better' not necessarily to be healthy. They then find chronic restrained eating impossible to maintain, and put the pounds and kilos back on again.And usually put on more than they would if they hadn't have dieted in the first place. This has been shown to put undue stress on the human cardio-vascular system. The dieter feels bad and guilty and returns to chronic restrained eating and the same thing happens, each time causing more and more stress on the cardio-vascular system due to 'yo-yo'. We need to know if the diet and weight loss industry can get the tick of approval for keeping us healthy? It seems they are just lining their pockets and getting fat on junk sceince and hysteria over being fat and self-obsession. Eating a moderate variety of food and doing half an hour's moderate exercise each day is hardly rocket science - even if one is carrying around a few extra pounds.
