The word diet can bring fear to many with images of dull food and a life of depravation. This is why so many of them fail.
Dr Louis J Aronne, director of the Comprehensive Weight Control Center, says: “Your body resists weight loss when you reduce calorie intake because it thinks you are starving."
He added that nerves in the brain change when on a diet as part of a biological process in the body to make any further weight loss more difficult.
