Women try 130 diets throughout life, says study

Which woman never tried a diet, right? Over time, however, these attempts can add up to about 130 diets started (and abandoned) throughout life. At least one study from the company Fourth, with 1,500 women, concluded.

Each year, on average, two different diets are initiated by women, which last for four weeks and three days. The most popular menu is the fat-free diet, performed by 21% of them. Then comes the vegetarian diet with 15%, and third is the non-carbohydrate diet, made by 13%.

Lactose-free and gluten-free diets are also popular. The main reason motivated for women to abandon their diets was the "love of food" (how can one not identify oneself?). Secondly, there was a lack of willpower and, thirdly, the lack of patience to follow a menu.

Of all the participants, 31% said that chocolate was the food they missed the most during the diet . Guess who was the second place? Friday night, that propitious moment to play in the bullshit and the beer. For 5% of them, having a hectic social life makes it difficult to maintain new diets.
