After weight loss many people experience better sleep patterns, increased energy levels, improved blood pressure and cholesterol levels. There is renewed vitality and self-confidence after weight loss the improves life in general and health in particular that cannot be overlooked. However,
statistics show that 90% of people who undergo a weight
loss program regain the weight within two years.
Why? One reason is that most diets are unrealistic and cannot
be maintained in the long term.  They
almost always lead to failure because they do not take
into account real life – stress, eating out, a hectic
job, cooking for the whole family or the many other temptations
that are all around us every day. We constantly feel like
we are fighting a losing battle to
loose weight and stay slender!
The second major reason that most diets don’t work
is that they don’t really address the emotional and
spiritual elements. Food that is meant to nourish and strengthen
the body becomes something we fear and leaves us feeling deprived.
Or it can become a poor coping mechanism for stress, tiredness,
anxiety, sadness, boredom or other feelings.
In 2003, the world's top experts in weight control and optimal
health published a 116-page WHO report announcing that the
best type of programme for losing weight, preventing disease,
and promoting wellness is a programme that recommends daily
exercise and an eating plan low in fat and high in natural,
high fiber-rich carbohydrates (Diet, Nutrition, and the Prevention
of Chronic Diseases, March 2003, World Health Organization)
