There are arguably hundreds of fad diets on the market, but the fact is they don't work. It's a sad truth, but they just don't. In addition, just a signifacant proportion weight loss diets that are "new and improved" are fad diets. These and many other diets currently popular in the press are just fashionable. They only work for a very short period of time, for a very small segment of the population, and are temporary. In short, you usually gain your weight back, sometimes more, and very quickly.

Only a few diets work for a lot of people, and these diets are really lifestyle changes rather than diets. They don't impose overly restrictive and impossible restrictions on you that simply can't work over the long term. They work because they respect and appreciate your body and how it was meant to work. They teach you how to succeed over the long haul, not just in the short term.

It's common knowledge that people love to eat. Food tastes and smells good, so why shouldn't you love to eat, too? This is simply part of a total, enjoyable experience called eating. Unfortunately, it's also true that people sometimes really love food that's "bad" for them. Many of these foods taste and smell irresistible, true, but they're unhealthy in many respects.

It can be very difficult to maintain your distance from these foods so that you can stay away from them. This, in turn, means that a lot of diets simply don't work. If you include the fact that many people have established bad eating habits and have therefore become overweight, this eventually results in failure.

In addition, people are individuals, so that the way we metabolize and digest food can change the way we handle it in terms of weight gain or loss. Different people eat for different reasons, and stress can make some people turn to rich and fattening foods.

Some people struggle to stay thin, while others struggle to gain weight. Some people should avoid simple carbohydrates while others don't have to as much. Those who must avoid simple carbohydrates (and often struggle to) may not be able to cope with the excess sugar simple carbohydrates stress the body with. Still other people have trouble metabolizing cholesterol or fat. This means that a single weight loss program isn't going to work for everyone, because it simply can't. We're simply not the same.

However, one new weight loss method is not a fad. It doesn't make empty promises and in fact is not a diet at all. Instead, it relies on a holistic method that has been put to the test and proven to work. It respects how your body really works, and involves the taste and scent inherent in appetite and in eating. In other words, "The nose knows."

Dr. Leon Massage of the Body Metabolism Institute is the Medical Director and founder of a respected and highly successful weight loss program in Melbourne, Australia. He was searching for a natural and non-drug way of helping his patients control their appetite and avoid the binges. During his investigations he came across some research that was done by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. This research was performed on a group of 108 overweight volunteers with an average age of 48, average weight of 197 pounds (89.5 Kg.), and average Body Mass Index (BMI) of 31 (any BMI over 30 is considered "obese").

The group was given two bottles of crystals, differently flavored, over six months time. The volunteers were asked to sprinkle these crystals on every meal. They were asked to continue eating and exercising as they normally did, with no changes. At the end of the six-month period, 92 of the volunteers had finished the study, or 85.1%. These people lost an average of 33.6 pounds, with an average weight loss of 5.6 pounds per month.

The study concluded that specific smells and tastes could induce a feeling of satiety, or of being full. This occurs even if you eat the same foods you always do and even if you don't exercise beyond normal limits. Because you're naturally full, you have no desire to overeat or to eat in a way that's out of balance with your own personal body chemistry. This means that you'll naturally begin to lose weight and will get to your own personal ideal weight range or BMI. You don't need to force behavioral changes that are often painful in order to lose weight.

Dr. Massage has created the BMI Weight Loss Wristband. The wristband utilises special scents that suppress hunger. The wristband is worn during the day; simply sniff the wristband when you feel tempted to eat more than you know you should. The wristband also uses something called neuro-association to strengthen the anti-binging eating effects of the smells impregnated onto the wristband. The smell of the infused scents create positive neuro-associations with these smells and tastes that result in hunger suppression.

Losing weight should now no longer be painful. With Dr. Massage's wristband, losing weight becomes effortless, natural, painless, and most of all sustainable. The results speak for themselves
