Contrasting widespread perceived wisdom, diet and exercise alone are insufficient for effective, lasting weight loss, says leading Australian obesity and overweight researcher, Mr. Trevor Johnson. This, and other diet myths commonly repeated do much damage to the efforts and ambitions of those people genuinely seeking answers to their weight problems.

“There is a seriously incorrect notion that is sadly widely held that an overweight or obese person can lose weight easily simply by cutting calories and increasing exercise”, Mr. Johnson said today. “This notion of a two-pronged simplistic cure ignores well proven scientific research that proves that a third factor is not only just as important as diet and exercise, but for the sake of lasting weight loss results is even more important.”

In the minds of many people, this is the ultimate weight loss mechanism. In additional to professional and supervised dieting and exercise programs, both individual and group counselling and peer support produce wondrous results in the better weight loss resorts. Mr. Johnson warns of two downsides to the weight loss health retreat option, however. Firstly, few offer a program long enough to be truly effective and produce the type of permanent habit changes that are essential for lasting weight loss results. A minimum of six months is what it really takes, though this time commitment is impractical for most people. Secondly, even when someone can set aside six months for a long term residential retreat program, the cost of around $3,000 per week still makes it a prohibitive option for all but the elite of our society.
