Explain why diets alone don't work

What will be an ideal response?


Food is important socially and emotionally, besides the physical needs. An individual can deprive these only so long. The low variety of foods on the diet leads to functional deficiencies where the missing building blocks are normally used. Weight is gained back with cessation of the diet because the rebuilt glycogen and protein-based tissues (if regained) are largely water. Lean mass consumed and detrained during the diet leads to a lower metabolism and more likelihood of positive caloric balance.
