Although ŝnŝÆ?Ä?ů success rates are high for many diet types reaching 10% weight loss, there is a problem: the regaining weight Ä?Å?Ä?Æ? diet. There are a limited number of studies that measures the success of weight loss expressed by weight maintained for a long Æ?mÄ? Ä?Å?Ä?Æ? diet stopped. Methods and ĮŶÄ?ŝŶŐƐÍ? Only 20% of individuals who lost Ä®vÄ? or more kilos where able to keep their weight long enough Ä?Å?Ä?Æ? diet cÄ?ƐƐÄ?Æ?ŽnÍ? but most Æ?Ä?Æ?Ä?nÆ?Ɛ experience regaining their weight even to higher levels than ƐÆ?Ä?Æ?Æ?nŐ point. If nƵÆ?Æ?ŝÆ?ŽnÄ?ů ŝnÆ?Ä?Æ?vÄ?nÆ?Žn programs are to be used as Ä®Æ?ƐÆ? line Ä?cÆ?Žn in Æ?Æ?Ä?Ä?Æ?nŐ obesity, the body’s Ä?Ä?Ä?Æ?Æ?vÄ? responses to caloric Æ?Ä?ƐÆ?Æ?ŝcÆ?ŽnƐ must be very well known before making a plan of Ä?cÆ?Žn and monitoring. Conclusion: The human body will always trigger the ƐÆ?Ä?Æ?vÄ?Æ?Žn response to caloric Ä?Ä?Ä®cŝÆ?Ɛ diets and if we want to be successful we have to Ä®nÄ? more suitable ƐŽůƵÆ?ŽnƐ to weight loss than lifestyle and nƵÆ?Æ?ŝÆ?ŽnÄ?ů ŝnÆ?Ä?Æ?vÄ?nÆ?Žn use now, by ŽÆ?Æ?mŝÇ?ŝnŐ tools and methods in order to increase the rate of successful permanent weight loss.
