(1) INTRODUCTION

Following the Christmas period, it is likely that many people will look for ways to ‘get in shape’; most probably because of the inevitable onslaught of calories that are an inherent part of the festive season.

The main objective of this position stand is to put the evidence that best characterizes weight management strategies into perspective, and believe it or not it’s simpler than you might imagine.
