Fad weight loss diets don't work - period. And the sad fact is that nearly every new weight loss diet you hear about in the popular press is lust a fad diet. These diets, and many of the others currently doing the rounds, are just fads. They only work for a very short period of time, they only work for a small segment of the population, and most of the weight lost is quickly regained in a very short space of time.

Only a few weight loss diets work for most people, and these are diets that are realistic. They don't work by restricting food in unrealistic ways. Rather, they work with reality, based upon how the appetite and how the body work. They appreciate the reasons why people eat too much, or too much of the wrong things, and work on this. They don't severely restrict calories, because this isn't sustainable and only causes weight gain over the long term, usually. In short, they teach people how to succeed with long-term weight loss, gradually and steadily.

For most people, eating is a very enjoyable experience. If food looks and tastes good and you're hungry, of course you want to eat. The problem with those who struggle with weight is that usually they eat at least a significant amount of food that isn't good for them. Most of these foods have tastes and smells that are irresistible, even though they're bad for your health when eaten in significant amounts.

It can be very difficult to maintain your distance from these foods so that you can stay away from them. This, in turn, means that a lot of diets simply don't work. If you include the fact that many people have established bad eating habits and have therefore become overweight, this eventually results in failure.

In addition, people are individuals, so that the way we metabolize and digest food can change the way we handle it in terms of weight gain or loss. Different people eat for different reasons, and stress can make some people turn to rich and fattening foods.

There are a few people who struggle to gain weight the way most of us struggle to lose it. Some people should avoid simple carbohydrates because not doing so can make them prone to diabetes. Still others struggle with fat and cholesterol. This is why fad weight-loss diets simply don't work. Yes, they may work for some, but because we're all different, we need different tools.

However, one new weight loss method is not a fad. It doesn't make empty promises and in fact is not a diet at all. Instead, it relies on a holistic method that has been put to the test and proven to work. It respects how your body really works, and involves the taste and scent inherent in appetite and in eating. In other words, "The nose knows."

Medical director of the Body Metabolism Institute, Dr. Leon Massage has founded a very successful weight loss program in Melbourne, Australia. His method is natural and drug-free, and helps his patients control their appetites and avoid binge eating. As he was investigating methods for this weight loss method, he discovered some research done by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. The research included 108 overweight volunteers who were on average 48 years of age and 197 pounds. Their average body mass index was 31, with a body mass index over 30 being considered "obese."

Over the course of six months, the group was given two different types of different flavored crystals every month, and they were asked to sprinkle these crystals on their food at every meal. Otherwise, they were asked to continue their normal eating and exercise patterns, if applicable. At the end of six months, 92 of the volunteers had finished the study, or 85.1%. The group lost an average of 33.6 pounds, or 5.6 pounds per month.

The conclusion reached from the trial is that certain smells and tastes can induce a very real sense of being satiated, that is, a feeling of being full. This occurs even if the same foods as always are eaten and no additional exercise is undertaken. By naturally feeling no more desire to overeat or eat in a way that is out of balance with their own personal body chemistry, people naturally begin to lose weight until they get to their personal ideal range of weight or BMI There was no need to force unnatural, often painful behaviour patterns on the people who lost weight.

Dr. Massage has created the BMI Weight Loss Wristband. The wristband utilises special scents that suppress hunger. The wristband is worn during the day; simply sniff the wristband when you feel tempted to eat more than you know you should. The wristband also uses something called neuro-association to strengthen the anti-binging eating effects of the smells impregnated onto the wristband. The smell of the infused scents create positive neuro-associations with these smells and tastes that result in hunger suppression.

This means that losing weight doesn't have to be a painful process. With Dr. Massage's wristband, weight loss can be painless, natural, effortless and permanent. The results denote visible success.
