New Year Resolutions: Please don't resolve to try to lose weight by dieting!

Dieting, i.e. eating less food/fewer calories/going hungry, is not a good way to lose excess weight. - For one thing, it seldom results in weight loss. For another thing it is not necessary to diet to lose weight. And a third reason not to diet is that dieting usually causes weight gain in the end. And fourthly dieting can cause you permanent harm, e.g. by weakening your bones because of insufficient intake of calcium and other nutrients.

The safe, sure, swift way to lose excess weight is to avoid eating salt and salty food. This reduces the fluid retention which is the basic cause of overweight or obesity.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, stroke, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, boost your lung function and improve your health in many other ways without drugs, hunger or expense by eating less salt! - Try it!
