"The new model gives dieters one calorie goal for short-term weight loss and another for permanent weight loss. Exercise is also calculated in to help set realistic goals.

Tests on small numbers of adults who were fed strictly controlled diets showed the model was accurate, though real-life situations are harder to predict.

Study co-author Carson Chow said the daily calorie cut needed for weight loss was actually smaller than researchers anticipated.

"It is essentially one cookie different a day, so a 150 calorie cookie leads to a seven kilogram difference in weight. That is huge in my opinion," Chow said.

"Everything you know about dieting is wrong" - this is true for majority of the population... being fed worse than bro-science theories on the daily from all kinds of sources.

and damn I hate reading that type of BS about "if I cut 100 calories out of my diet , I will eventually lose 10kilograms".... like b**ch please, you think you can lose weight by dropping a cookie out of your daily diet with NO consideration of how high a caloric excess you're eating at from the rest of the meals?

"People can plug in some information about their initial age, their height, their weight, some estimate of their physical activity level," Hall said.

Add in a goal weight and the "model will simulate what changes of diet or exercise that person would have to do to achieve that goal weight, and then even more importantly what they need to do to permanently maintain that weight loss."

:doh: what's new about it?

It's amazing how ignorant of basic nutrition the general public is

Who would have thought the body adapts to your diet the longer you are on it :doh:

You wouldn't sell a load of weight loss rubbish or cram processed crap down the mouths of a well informed public. It makes perfect sense to confuse people; especially where there is good market opportunity.
