A statistic often quoted in dieting literature is that 95 percent of people who lose weight gain it all back. According to the American Obesity Association,
this statistic is no longer true and reflects a small study completed in 1959. Losing weight is not easy, but a person who commits to a plan of physical activity and moderate dieting will see results. Most impor- tantly, it is necessary to replace poor dietary habits with good eating habits and exercise in order for the weight to stay off permanently.Dieting for children who are still growing should be viewed with extreme caution. Children use their calories to develop, unlike adults, and  too  severe of a caloric restriction  could impair this growth.
