There are arguably hundreds of fad diets on the market, but the fact is they don't work. It's a sad truth, but they just don't. In addition, just a signifacant proportion weight loss diets that are "new and improved" are fad diets. These and many other diets currently popular in the press are just fashionable. They only work for a very short period of time, for a very small segment of the population, and are temporary. In short, you usually gain your weight back, sometimes more, and very quickly.

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.

For most people, eating is a very enjoyable experience. If food looks and tastes good and you're hungry, of course you want to eat. The problem with those who struggle with weight is that usually they eat at least a significant amount of food that isn't good for them. Most of these foods have tastes and smells that are irresistible, even though they're bad for your health when eaten in significant amounts.

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.

There are a few people who struggle to gain weight the way most of us struggle to lose it. Some people should avoid simple carbohydrates because not doing so can make them prone to diabetes. Still others struggle with fat and cholesterol. This is why fad weight-loss diets simply don't work. Yes, they may work for some, but because we're all different, we need different tools.

However, one new weight loss method is not a fad. It doesn't make empty promises and in fact is not a diet at all. Instead, it relies on a holistic method that has been put to the test and proven to work. It respects how your body really works, and involves the taste and scent inherent in appetite and in eating. In other words, "The nose knows."

Medical director of the Body Metabolism Institute Dr. Leon Massage has founded a highly successful, respected weight loss program in Melbourne, Australia. He was looking for a way that was safe and natural and that didn't use drugs to help his patients control appetite and avoid binging. As he did his investigation, he came across some research done by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. The research utilised 108 overweight volunteers whose average age was 48 and whose average weight was 197 pounds. Their average body mass index was 31, with a BMI (body mass index) of over 30 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.

Losing weight should now no longer be painful. With Dr. Massage's wristband, losing weight becomes effortless, natural, painless, and most of all sustainable. The results speak for themselves
