există pe net cel puţin un studiu într-un nr. journal of nutrition and metabolism, plătit de o companie metabolic balance; am pus mai jos doar concluziile. îl găsiţi uşor cu google. am senzaţia că şi ei spun că succesul depinde mai degrabă de echipa de consultanţi decât de dieta propriu-zisă:

Program Adherence and Effectiveness of a Commercial Nutrition Program: The Metabolic Balance Study
Cornelia Meffert and Nikolaus Gerdes
J Nutr Metab. 2010; 2010: 197656.

Participation in the nutrition program led to long-term improvements in health status and HRQOL. The effectiveness of the program has probably to be attributed to the high degree of adherence to the program's basic rules. Comparing various diets, Sacks et al. [14] found that the success of a weight reduction program is not primarily due to a particular type of diet but depends to a great extent on adherence to the program. That corresponds with our results. The main reasons for the high degree of compliance in our study sample appear to be individually designed nutrition plans and personal counseling that bind the clients to “their” nutrition program.

We conclude that program adherence turns out to be a major factor of successful long-term weight reduction, which leads us to recommend a shift of focus. The emphasis of any dietary program should be set on both, the aspect of nutrition as well as the aspect of motivation. One should closely look at the link between motivation and highly individualized weight reduction programs. Psycho-social aspects of compliance will have to be given more consideration in future research.

multumesc Zoitico! Eram curioasa daca a incercat careva!
