They see how many calories it takes to maintain a weight and stay as close o that as they can. Once again not an easy task. But there is also a reason "diets" ( changing eating habits for a period of time to overcome a perceived problem) don't work. Because as soon as the perceived problem is over the people go back to what caused the problem in the first place. I wouldn't be a vegan at the point of a gun but if that were the life choice someone had to make to stay at a healthy weight and it worked for them maybe they should go for it. What is important to the individual will determine the changes they make in their life, ( speaking from experience) Until the word diet simply means the way you eat rather than a word that means changing how you eat till you get back to where you want to be you will Yo-yo every winter.
