Abstract

It's difficult to lose weight. And it's even harder to keep it off. Many people achieve short-term weight-loss only to return to their previous lifestyle choices - and their previous weight - over time. This can lead to yo-yoing between weight loss and weight gain. One of the problems is that weight-loss diets aren't sustainable. They leave dieters feeling hungry and aren't giving them the essential nutrients they need to maintain their long-term health.
