Hi All,

I just tripped across the below of interest to at least me regarding

nutrional

courses.

To achieve a sustained weight loss for medical or cosmetic reasons it

is normally

recommended that people should eat a low-fat, high-starch, physically

bulky diet,

rich in fresh fruit, green vegetables and unrefined carbohydrates,

and that their

total energy consumption should be slightly less than before. This

diet should be

supplemented by an exercise program to increase energy demand,

leading to a

gradual weight loss over several months. Crash diets should be

avoided because they

chiefly affect body water content, rather than fat. They may also

promote muscle

catabolism for gluconeogenesis. The altered lifestyle must be

maintained indefinitely:

if the person ceases to control their food intake then most of the

missing fat

will be rapidly replaced. We will now examine the reasons for this:
