The idea behind iSlank.com is to make it easier to find the right diet. That's why we have collected and described many of the most popular diets.
Why is it hard to lose weight?
The yoyo effect
Most of our visitors have tried several diets and the general experience is that you lose weight during the diet and gain it all back after the diet ends (in some cases, you even gain additional kilos and end up weighing more than before!) This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as the “yoyo effect” and is a well-known problem in the dieting world.
Ineffective diets
Another common problem is that many diets are simply ineffective. They don't address the cause of the excess weight, nor do they result in real weight loss. There are many different diets that fall into this category and you're bound to come across them when looking for an effective diet.
Lifestyle changes
The problem with most diets is their nature; they are designed to be temporary solutions and not permanent changes. The secret to lasting weight loss is simply to make some changes to your lifestyle. In practice, this almost always involves changing one or more of the following factors:
Diet (eating healthier, smaller portions, more variety, less sugar and fat, etc.)
Exercise (do more exercise, do it more often and possibly more intensely)
The above factors can be summarised to mean that it is usually the individual's diet and activity level that needs to change for the better in order to achieve and maintain the ideal weight.
