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.

It's common knowledge that people love to eat. Food tastes and smells good, so why shouldn't you love to eat, too? This is simply part of a total, enjoyable experience called eating. Unfortunately, it's also true that people sometimes really love food that's "bad" for them. Many of these foods taste and smell irresistible, true, but they're unhealthy in many respects.

This can make it very difficult to keep up with a weight loss program and stay away from these types of tempting foods. Too much exposure to tempting foods (as well as giving in to them and eating them) can cause your diet to fail. Couple that with the sub-optimal eating habits that many have established, and even the most dedicated of dieters can fail.

Also, we are all individuals. We differ from one another and so does our metabolism. Different people have different triggers that make them eat or, more importantly, turn to rich fattening foods.

Some people struggle to stay thin, while others struggle to gain weight. Some people should avoid simple carbohydrates while others don't have to as much. Those who must avoid simple carbohydrates (and often struggle to) may not be able to cope with the excess sugar simple carbohydrates stress the body with. Still other people have trouble metabolizing cholesterol or fat. This means that a single weight loss program isn't going to work for everyone, because it simply can't. We're simply not the same.

However, there is one new weight loss method that is not a fad. It doesn't make empty promises and it's not a diet. In fact, it's a holistic method that has been tested scientifically. It respects your body and how it really works, which means that IT WORKS. It utilises your senses of taste and smell so that you really can effectively lose weight. In other words, your nose knows.

Dr. Leon Massage of the Body Metabolism Institute is the Medical Director and founder of a respected and highly successful weight loss program in Melbourne, Australia. He was searching for a natural and non-drug way of helping his patients control their appetite and avoid the binges. During his investigations he came across some research that was done by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. This research was performed on a group of 108 overweight volunteers with an average age of 48, average weight of 197 pounds (89.5 Kg.), and average Body Mass Index (BMI) of 31 (any BMI over 30 is 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 study concluded that specific smells and tastes could induce a feeling of satiety, or of being full. This occurs even if you eat the same foods you always do and even if you don't exercise beyond normal limits. Because you're naturally full, you have no desire to overeat or to eat in a way that's out of balance with your own personal body chemistry. This means that you'll naturally begin to lose weight and will get to your own personal ideal weight range or BMI. You don't need to force behavioral changes that are often painful in order to lose weight.

Dr. Massage of the Body Metabolism Institute has gone a step further and created the BMI Weight Loss Wristband. In this wristband, he infused special scents that suppress hunger. The wristband is worn during the day and the person wearing it can simply sniff it whenever he or she wishes to eat more than is appropriate. When the wearer has the wristband on, hunger is curbed via neuro-association with the message and the smells so that he or she does not overeat.

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.
