The study compared four popular diets, such as low carbohydrate and low fat, and found that they all produced modest weight losses after two years.
The Wellspring group asserts that the low-fat diet was not really low, because it was 26% fat. Their programs offer diets of less than 10% fat. Moreover, the Wellspring scientists noted "diets don't work. No diet can produce the changes in attitude, skills, support and behaviors that long-term weight control requires."
The Wellspring approach is an "immersion process" that uses a variety of techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, focusing, emotional awareness, stress management, and staff modeling along with control of diet and physical activity.
