You make it sound, as if 95 % of all people ever going on a diet have weak willpower. 95 %? Think again. Maybe diets just don’t work as they are promising!

In these articles you will find that only 2 to 5 % of dieters keep their weight down long-term.
No, I am obese and have made one major mistake in my life: I went onto a formula-diet, daily calories-intake of 770. That fucked up my metabolism. I lost weight, 40 kilogramm – but I gained it all back! I now have the same size of clothes as I had before the diet.
Well, my basic level of calories needed is down still, I suppose. But, to be honest, since I am 47 that may have had an influence, too.
But that formula diet was in 1995/1996 (six months, three of which entirely of 770 kcal a day) – that CAN disturb your metabolism big time.

Not my intention, or that of the original blog poster Fran – it’s just a bit of silly fun that most people can relate to 😀
