Mystery eight is that diets don’t cause reliable weight loss. This has been demonstrated repeatedly in different meta-analyses published over the last decade. On pretty much every diet, people lose a little weight at first but gain most of that weight back within a year.

BECAUSE DIETARY CHANGES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PERMANENT, YOU FAT FRICKING R-SLURS!!!

EVEN IF YOU FAST FOR TEN MONTHS YOU'LL GAIN BACK THE WEIGHT WHEN YOU GO BACK TO EATING BREAD COVERED IN LARD AND MAYO!!!
