The True Value of Weight Loss Industry Research

The EET Fitness Plan was developed through an extraordinary amount of research into weight loss and fitness. Research has it's place in solving problems. It also has its limitations.

EET's success has been the result of the INTERPRETATION OF RESEARCH more than the research findings themselves.

Research indicates a lot of things, sometimes two different research reports indicate the exact opposite of one another. Most research has a bias to conclude what the sponsors want the research to conclude. And then there's this research that provides the critical data that all weight loss research is suspect and needs further investigation and interpretation:

• Ninety-five percent (some studies are as high as 98%) of Americans who attempt to achieve a healthy body weight by dieting alone fail.

(http://www.earth-policy.org/index.php?/plan_b_updates/2000/alert11)

So if the billions and billions spent on researching how to lose weight and be more fit have been invested wisely and the answers are helpful, why are only 2% of people benefitting from these research findings?

What other field could survive or have any credibility with a 2% success rate?

Clearly there's a need for better answers, and that is EET's mission: To INTERPRET existing research and find better answers for meaningful weight loss for a much larger percent of people.

Other posts have and will cover EET's interpretations of existing research and how it is used in the EET and EAT plans to successfully achieve permanent weight loss.

But there is a very small amount of research that does not need interpretation and that sort of research is ALWAYS respected by EET and included in the plan.

Green Tea and Omega 3 fatty acids


Two items that are prominently featured in both EAT and EET.

How is the research different for Green Tea and Omega 3's? They don't just have research supporting their value in weight loss, they have OVERWHELMING research of tremendous nutritional value including and well beyond weight loss.

You can and should do your own research and decide if EET has reached the correct conclusions. The following should get you started:
