The diet is achieving results. Results seem to be motivated most of all by the success of self-esteem exercises and goal setting. The ketogenic process that is most effective at burning fat is hard to generate, and requires great will power. Dieters often report feeling feint and tired during the induction phase of the diet. They also ingest more proper food. This could be why goal setting seems to have a positive effect, creating cognitive dissonance when the dieter goes off the strict diet. It's interesting to note that other studies have shown this affect, including that dieters often settle into a low-carbohydrate diet, their change in weight stabalizes and then they go off diet. This means that would-be dieters would do well to remember that psychology plays a very important role in accomplishing goals.
