Ann was a veteran of the diet wars. She failed each time because when faced with a shortage of calories the body naturally reacts by preserving fat. Metabolism (新陈代谢) slows down so it becomes more difficult to lose weight. When the strict routine is broken, the weight is regained in fat.

　　Certainly the diet industry is booming as never before despite the high failure rates of diets. Each year, the diet industry earns between 40 and 60 billion dollars, including diet centers, diet drugs, weight-loss books and magazines. Every year over 50% of Americans go on a diet. Two-thirds of dieters regain the weight within a year, and 97% have gained it back in five years. A third of dieters develop serious eating disorders.

　　The solution? Don’t diet. Instead, look at what you really are hungry for. A new job, partner, place to live? What are your dreams? And what steps do you need to take to get it? It’s your heart that’s hungry — not your body!
