I’m sure i’ve missed a few links here and there. Feel free to link ‘em in comments if you’re so inclined.
This is where i might normally ask if anyone has any questions, but i just know some smart-ass would say “Hey Lindsay, do diets work?”… at which point, i would be forced to let loose a mighty AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA shortly before having a minor aneurysm.

Awesome post!
And thank you for the link.
December 27th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
Hey, thanks for giving me something worth linking!
December 27th, 2007 at 1:48 pm
Haha, too bad domain squatters have already registered dietsdontwork.com. We could just compile a huge archive of stories there. An eating disorder recovery center has luckily registered the .org version.
December 27th, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Rachel, you may be on to something there. There are some other variants of that domain that ARE available…
diets-dont-work.net and .org, for example.
December 27th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
Lindsay, this rules. I am so bookmarking this! Ampersand’s post, especially, is a treasure trove of data not readily available elsewhere online.
December 27th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
Meowser, feel free to bookmark and use as necessary. And if you have any i’ve missed, lemme know and i’ll add it.
December 27th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
Lindsay - if I were made of money and had time to spare, I’d reserve a whole bunch of diet-sounding domains and then have them redirect to a HAES page.
December 27th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Rachel, when i win the lottery? All over it, like dead on Elvis.

I’d also like to link back to this, do you mind? Fantastic job with the research!

In response to “zombiez” “Diet’s don’t work”….I couldn’t agree more. Actually, there is alot of research that show that “diet’s and diet trend’s” do not work.
Diet by definition is actually what you ingest by way of food and drink on a daily basis. Some of us consume more or less in way of carbohydrates, protein and fat. The proper balance of all three will help you to lead a healthier lifestyle reducing pathologies (disease) directly linked to daily nutritional intake.
Thank you for your comment on “Diets don’t work”.

I give this link so often. Today, when I was pasting it into a thread on a vegan forum I’m on, I had a sudden panic moment — what if it ever disappears? So I saved the webpage to my hard drive just in case. Don’t ever go away. We need you.
