If You Failed At Dieting

If you failed at dieting by following an expert's advice, it is most likely that you failed because the diet you were given was flawed.

Expert's diets are flawed in one main way - they are too extreme. So extreme, that no one can follow them.

There are several different ways in which expert diets achieve their extremeness.

To understand them, you have to look to the physiology and starvation literature and recognize that the diet literature is corrupt.

If you want to gain an understanding of the problem, read my ebooks: Why Diets Fail: The Simple Mistake That Ruins Millions Of Lives and MASSematics ^tm: How To Get Rich By Not Dieting. Both are available here.

The following entities may be responsible for your diet failure:

• author
• endorser (expert who endorses another's weight loss program)
• publisher
• media outlet (promoting the book or weight loss program)
• media personality (touting the book or weight loss program)
• physician
• medical organization
• nutritionist
• dietitian
• medical center
• weight loss clinic
• commercial weight loss company
• pharmaceutical company
• trainer
• food company

If the diet:

• reduced your daily caloric intake by 500 - 1000 Calories per day or more
• advertised 1 - 2 pounds weight loss per week or more
• had you eating fewer Calories per day than your basal metabolic rate (BMR)
• claimed that to lose one pound per week you had to reduce your caloric intake by 500 Calories per day
• claimed that to lose two pounds per week you had to reduce your caloric intake by 1000 Calories per day
• reduced your daily caloric intake and advised you to exercise to burn 300 or more Calories per day
• reduced your caloric intake and informed you that you can add muscle by exercising
• claimed that one pound of muscle burns 35 or more Calories per day at rest
• had a food product associated with it (e.g., bars, supplements, meals)
