Comments: The authors recommend that, "When a patient has a history of dieting failure, dietetics professionals should consider focusing on improvements in metabolic fitness through lifestyle changes for chronic disease risk reduction rather than encouraging continued attempts to lose weight." Given the association between obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes, the difference between what is meant by metabolic fitness versus dieting is not clear.
