新年假期會很快成為遙遠(yuǎn)的回憶，而對很多人來說，新年的減肥計劃也會很快被拋之腦后。調(diào)查顯示，盡管有260萬人在新年第一天開始節(jié)食，但在該星期結(jié)束時，已有92％的節(jié)食減肥者放棄，[36]不再運動。而且開始大吃大喝。
減重中心XLS醫(yī)院[37]發(fā)布的這項調(diào)查結(jié)果表明，[38]大多數(shù)人都無法在制定節(jié)食減肥計劃的一周內(nèi)堅持五天以上。五分之一的節(jié)食減肥者[39]承認(rèn)自己在第四五天的時候就堅持不住了，他們提到的主要原因是饑餓。單調(diào)乏味和酒精的刺激[40]也讓他們無法堅持瘦身計劃。
國家肥胖論壇醫(yī)療主任馬特·凱普霍恩博士[4l]強(qiáng)調(diào)說，僅僅一天不堅持節(jié)食就會毀掉一周的努力。他告訴《女士優(yōu)先》雜志說：“健康的節(jié)食是一星期減去1磅，這需要一周內(nèi)減少3500卡路里的攝取，而一天減少500卡路里的攝取即可?！薄耙惶觳还?jié)食應(yīng)該意味著你攝入正確的食量，而很多節(jié)食者卻把它當(dāng)做大吃大喝的理由，攝取的卡路里數(shù)量比需要的多出好幾千?！?BR> 調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，有[42]多達(dá)59萬人可能已經(jīng)[43]放棄了新年減肥計劃。而且還有很多人不清楚一天不堅持節(jié)食對其減肥計劃有何負(fù)面影響。然而[44]總的來說，僅有5％的女性能堅持到最后，直到[45]達(dá)到目標(biāo)體重。
