There's nothing more inspirational to those trying to lose weight than a miracle slimming story. But many dieters end up putting it all back on.
The number of obese people in the world has topped 2.1 billion, while the UK authorities are changing their guidelines to emphasise the need to lose at least a small amount of weight but to keep it off for life.
"Yo-yo dieting" - or the losing and then regaining of weight - is both bad for health but also depressing for dieters. Many struggle to achieve a consistent weight loss over a long period.
