Why Don Diet Programs Work In The Morbidly Obese?
There is an extremely high incidence of failure to maintain a ten percent weight loss in obese patients with traditional diet and exercise programs. Most diet programs involve restricting caloric intake. They are based on deprivation and eventually lead to frustration with the deprivation and slow weight loss. In addition many commercial weight loss and exercise programs are very costly. The programs may be effective while one is participating but when one returns to normal eating patterns the weight is frequently regained.
