Yes, a diet and exercise program fails,...
... while people who eat when they're hungry, maintaining their natural (unforced) weight, and exercise when it's fun will be more healthy.

?I don?t blame the diet programs. They?re fighting biology,? Dr. Wadden said. ?Even in the best of circumstances, people will regain a third of what they lost in one year and two-thirds in two years and they may be back to base line in five years.?

Dr. Thomas Wadden, director of the weight and eating disorders program at the University of Pennsylvania
