A third of the respondents not on a diet admitted to considering trying to lose weight in the future.<\/p>\n

The survey also asked both those who are currently dieting about their current weight and their weight aspirations and found that the average person wants to lose a stone.<\/p>\n

The results detail the types of diets most popular with Brits and found that a quarter (25%) of slimmers opted for a low sugar diet, followed by 20% on a low carb diet plan and a further 11% choosing vegetarian dishes.<\/p>\n

Respondents also revealed the reasons for their diet with almost half stating that they want avoid weight-associated health problems later in life, followed closely by 41% saying they are doing it to make themselves more attractive.<\/p>\n

Almost a quarter of those who answered cited a pre-existing medical condition that is worsened by their weight.<\/p>\n

One fifth said they were dieting before their summer holiday.<\/p>\n

The survey also showed that women are most likely to diet to make themselves more attractive with 48% stating that that is their reason for wanting to lose weight, compared to only 31% of men.<\/p>\n

On average, those surveyed admitted to wanting to be a stone lighter than their current weight, however less than 10% of respondents stated that they intend to make long term changes to their eating habits.<\/p>\n

British Dietetic Association spokeswoman, Anna Daniels said: “Fad diets invariably fail as they are often restrictive and don’t take into account individual lifestyle factors.<\/p>\n

“For best long term results, focus on making smaller modifications to your current diet over a period time that you then can stick to.”<\/p>\n

Chocolate was voted the most difficult food to give up (40%), followed by cheese (27%), bread (26%), alcohol (24%) and cake (21%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
