A paper published in 1998 by George Washington University Medical Center researchers reviewed 493 studies performed over 25 years involving weight loss through dieting, exercise, or a combination of both. The good news is that subjects averaged a whopping 24 pound drop in weight over 15 weeks. Surprisingly however, there was little difference in total pounds lost between the dieting groups and the diet plus exercise groups (I suspect total calorie deficit in these studies was the same, and the diet only groups experienced a drop in lean muscle mass compared to the exercise groups). There was a difference, however, at the 1 year follow-up. The exercise groups did a much better job of maintaining their weight loss.

Their recommendations have often been based on out-of-date science and influenced by people with business interests in their messages-Healthy Eating Pyramid
