LOOKING to lose a few pounds? Dying to get rid of that belly of yours? Thinking of spending a few hours at the local gym to trim that waistline?

Yeah. Good luck with that. You may lose weight for the short term, but that weight you lost will return and haunt you.

Sure you can drop a few pounds from proper diet and exercise, but you only lose weight because your fat is turning into muscle. It doesnt disappear; it just tenses up and goes to sleep.

People who lose weight through the traditional methods like working out, jogging, a low-carbohydrate diet and probably some yoga will be saddened to find out that the number of people who go from heavyweight to lightweight and stay there is so low that you can statistically round that off to zero. The number is still there, but its so miniscule that its depressing.

According to the fat activist blog Fat Fu, Weight Watchers works, for two out of a thousand. It also states that people who go from obese to normal weight and maintain it for more than a few years are so rare that nobody knows just how rare because no weight loss study has been large enough or rigorous enough to detect a significant number of them.

The thing about losing weight and staying thin is that, if you want those 20 or so pounds to be gone forever, you have to maintain your healthy lifestyle forever. Something easier said than done. That means eating the same healthy meals, doing the same exercise routines and basically staying fit until the day your body decides to give up.

An article published by CBS news about a study of a commercial weight loss program found it impressive that 50 percent of dieters in that particular program lost 5 percent of their weight and stayed there, which is like saying that its impressive that a person joined the program weighing 300lbs and is now at 285 and keeping it there.

The program restricted calories using a point system that made sure that the dieters lose a maximum of 2lbs a week. Points are spent through eating and earned through exercise. Five years later, most of the dieters had regained half of their original weight loss, which is sort of good since at least they didnt fa-whoom back into their 300lb old selves.
