the best of intentions, only a few manage to avoid piling the pounds straight back on - and it has nothing to

, a long-term cut in calories is needed to keep the weight off. To stay at their new weight, slimmers need to eat less than someone of the same weight who has not dieted.
they need to eat at least 300 fewer calories a day. And over the
of a week, it amounts to 17 slices of buttered toast. So why do slimmers need to eat less? In slimmers, a muscle uses fewer calories to do its work than in someone
of a similar weight who has not dieted. Changes in hormones, metabolism and appetite also play

those that generate feelings of restraint are less so. As a result, former dieters have to eat more to feel satisfied, but think they have eaten less.
