Do diets and dieting work? The Health Spas Guide takes a look at diets, dieting and the alternatives.

Do a search on Google for diets or dieting and you will be offered over a million results. Big business! But do they work? Is there a better way?
 
All diets work on the assumption that if you eat less of this or more of that, you will lose weight. Almost all ignore the relationship between intake and consumption.

What do most weight loss diets do?

Even worse, many diets force the human body to lose weight in the short term and trick it into putting on MORE weight in the medium term. Good business for the diet companies, bad news for the dieters. The truth about diets and dieting is that if they are sensible and well balanced (many are not) they ARE good for the body. But they MUST go hand-in-hand with exercise.
 

The exercise side of the dieting equation

The fact is, and this is the diet companies' best kept secret, that exercise, not diets and dieting, will lead you to lose weight! If you burn more energy than you consume, you WILL lose weight.

Exercise? Yeucch! What's that?
 

Not that frightening! No need to run the Comrades Marathon. Or even run the SPAR 10 kilometre race. Your body burns energy, even when it is sleeping. But you do need to do more exercise, unless you eat like a mouse. Visits to the gym, fairly brisk walks, walking up stairs instead of catching the lift, even sex, burn energy.

The ONLY thing you have to do, is to burn more energy than you consume. Sensible eating, combined with sufficient exercise will work. Diets and dieting are only short term solutions, unless you plan to diet forever!

A week-long visit to a health spa is a great way to start

Getting in the right frame of mind is NOT that easy. Rather than starting another failed diet, visit a health spa. The atmosphere and sense of well-being that results, will go a long way to getting you on the right track.
