Achieving healthy weights.
Year: 1993
Type: article
Abstract: Only 5% of patients dieting to achieve permanent weight loss will be successful and reap the associated health benefits. Ninety-five percent will be unsuccessful. The health implications of failed dieting attempts are numerous and include negative effects on both physical and psychological well-being. Better alternatives to dieting help patients take small, positive, enjoyable steps toward healthy eating, active living, and a positive self-image.
