conventional wisdom but is nonetheless backed by abundant scientific research, is that <strong>dieting success is all about maintaining a reasonable diet, as well as by putting into practice a set of long-term habits<\/strong>. unfortunately, most people looking to lose weight are taught to count calories, which engages the dieter in a losing battle with his or her biology. it&#8217;s also the main reason why 95% of dieters gain weight back within just two years.<\/p>\n<p>it&#8217;s true that most dieters are all-too-familiar with the &#8220;dieting merry-go-round&#8221;, which looks like this:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>restrict calories to lose weight.<\/li>\n<li>walk around hungry and obsessed with food.<\/li>\n<li>overeat.<\/li>\n<li>gain weight.<\/li>\n<li>repeat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>as the cycle above demonstrates, calorie restriction or calorie counting, which is what most dieters have been taught to do, doesn&#8217;t help for long-term weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>instead, dieting success is all about eating a reasonable diet and putting into practice a set of long-term patterns and habits.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\"

hearts is fighting childhood hunger. to this end, we started the <a href=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/giving-back\/\">donate the weight<\/a> initiative. the idea is simple: for every product we sell, we feed a child in need. our money goes directly to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.malilangwe.org\/nutrition\/\">the malilangwe trust<\/a>, which funds\u00a0feeding stations in zimbabwe. members of our team visited these feeding sites in person prior to any donations. the program provides a balanced meal every school day to zimbabwean children, most of whom are under the age of five.<\/p>\n<p>in addition, each year since 2013 we sponsor the\u00a0<a href=\"\/scholarship\/essay\/\">dietspotlight essay scholarship<\/a>. this program offers extraordinary students across the united states an opportunity to win up to $3,000 each in financial aid to pursue studies related to diet and nutrition.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom:
