If you're one of those people who starts a diet every January, you'll be alarmed to learn you could spend more than £150,000 in your lifetime trying to lose weight. A recent poll found that, pound-for-pound, those who splash out in the new year on gym membership, diet DVDs, fitness equipment, new trainers and food supplements, spend an average £807 for every pound they lose. What's more, the average woman who tries to slim loses a maximum of 3lbs in any one year, most of which she puts back on.

The World Health Organisation agrees on this, and much recent research agrees. You need to take regular exercise too. All studies show that people most successful at keeping weight off are those who do.
