About

di•et tired: (adjective)

Origin: The Healthy Weights Clinic 2007

1. term used to describe an emotional state suffered by dieters
2. a cluster of emotions;  despair, frustration and self-doubt

Diet Tired is a website for dieters, reformed dieters, and experts in weight management. Diet Tired delivers useful tools and insightful information that is thoroughly researched and thought provoking. Our aim is to help you determine what to do and how to do it.

    Weight loss takes work,  but it shouldn't take guess work.^TM

We believe that sustained weight loss isn’t easy but have proved over and over that it can be done. Much like treating depression involves more than simply 'cheering up', weight loss involves far more than eating less and exercising more.

We aim to convince you not with the quantity but with the quality of the information we present. We hope that makes us different. The Diet Tired Blog is, and always has been, independent.
