[Are diets fattening?].
A diet always induces a weight loss in the short term. The loss does not depend on the diet composition but rather on the caloric deficit. However, a drastic diet often induces binge eating disorders and can lead to a weight gain in the long term. A cognitive-behavioural-nutritional approach allows a lasting weight loss. Results are much better in the long term with low fat diets. The benefits of a weight loss, even a little one, improves greatly morbidity and mortality at 10 years.
