Obese? The chances you'll get to a healthy weight are 1/210
Male and overweight? New research has established the chances you will get to a healthy weight are 1/210
THE INDEPENDANT MONDAY 20 JULY 2015

Obese men have only a one in 210 chance of attaining a healthy body weight, according to new research that suggests diet and exercise strategies are not effective in combating the obesity epidemic.
While obese women stand a slightly higher one in 124 chance, experts from King’s College London, who conducted the study, said that existing weight loss programmes in the UK were “not working for the vast majority of obese patients”.
The findings are based on the electronic health records of 279,000 people. People who were categorised as severely obese were even less likely to attain healthy weight – with a 1 in 1,290 chance among men and a one in 677 chance among women.
While a significant number of patients were able to lose five per cent of their weight, most regained it after only a few years.
Each year obese men have a one in 12 chance of achieving five per cent weight loss, rising to one in 10 among women. But 53 per cent of people who had achieved this regained the weight within a year, and after five years, only 22 per cent had maintained their weight loss.
The findings, which are published in the American Journal of Public Health, are based on UK patient records dating from 2004 to 2014.

That's like, your opinion, man.
That regain is most likely due to the overall quality of the utter shite that's passed as 'food' in the UK.
Doesn't take much processed 'food' at all to negate the effects of the diet.

That's impressive. Well done.Gin&Tonic wrote:Dieting will never work. You need to change your life style. There is nothing temporary about weight control. You need permanent measures.
I know. November 2011 I was 148.6 kg. Now down to 76 kg.

Before and after
August 2011
Today
I got it wrong. My weight loss started in November 2012, not 2011 as started previously.
First off, in November 2012 I had gastric sleeve surgery. This reduced my meal portion. By July 2013 my weight had dropped from 148.6kg to about 112kg. In October 2013 I split with the ex and after she kidnapped my children deppression set in and I started to gain weight again.
By the end of August 2014 my weight was back over 121kg. I then changed my dietary intake. I stopped eating processed food. I reduced carbs and limited myself to ~5000kj/day. I started daily exercise (walking/jogging). First night I went out to exercise it took me nearly an hour to complete 2.5km and I was stuffed.
Now I have increased my diet to 6000kj. I run 5km/day (26 minutes personal best), ride 14km+ and light weight work.
Once a week I'll do a distance run and currently in training for a 12km run in September which I aim to complete in under an hour. Not there yet. Can't yet maintain that speed for so long.
My diet is particular and carbs are low although increased before distance runs. Mostly from oats and fresh fruit. No bread, pasta, rice, potato's, etc...
400g of meat everyday and plenty of vegetables. No sugar. Alcohol once every few months. No fast food at all.
I log all my food and exercise so I can keep track.
