Taking Off the Kid Gloves - Two Dieticians "Tell it Like It Is"

14- Starvation diets don't work (except among the morbidly obese and even then it can be problematic) because your body adapts rapidly.  Some people may require very low calorie diets to spur weight loss and in that case, daily vigorous exercise can help to stimulate additional weight loss.

15- Being sedentary even if you diet is a surefire way to defy weight loss - you still have to move even when you control your food.  Weight loss requires both prongs of effort.

These 15 recommendations can take upwards of a year to implement.  If weight loss is very slow as you embrace these habits, remember, that it may have taken years to get to the state you are in today.  Quick weight loss is usually weight loss that won't stay off!!
