The arrangements for the summer season are in full swing, some may have arranged a coastal holiday, some may be dieting and exercising at the last minute to help them feel their best, but for results that really last, it is possible Isn’t the summer months the ideal time to do this, according to what was published by the British “Daily Record”.
The worst month overall
Scientists at the University of Oxford conducted a study to find out the best month of the year to diet and see long-term health benefits. People who start overhauling their lifestyle at the beginning of the year lose an average of 2.5 kilograms – compared to 1.6 kilograms lost by people who They dieted in August, which is generally the worst month.
According to a report published by the British newspaper “The Telegraph”, perhaps the secret lies in the fact that the new beginning with enthusiasm for the new year is the reason behind the success of some people in getting rid of extra kilograms, while in the summer, it is difficult to adhere to the dietary routine to lose weight.

Oxford study
The University of Oxford researchers, led by dietician Dr Dimitrios Koutokidis, monitored 85,514 people in England, aged 65 on average, who started an NHS diabetes prevention program between January 2017 and December 2018. None of the participants developed diabetes. In the study had diabetes, they only noticed a rise in blood sugar.
Participants joined online and face-to-face sessions with experts, where they were encouraged to eat healthier and exercise more to improve their overall health.
December is better than August
The results, published in the journal Obesity, showed that those who started the diet in January lost more weight than those who started a new healthy diet at any other time of the year, with August being the least successful month, followed by July at 1.65kg. Then, September reached about 1.79 kg, and December reached 1.83 kg.
Warning and advice
Experts suggest that one of the possible reasons behind the decline in positive results in the month of August is the lack of a consistent and stable routine as a result of summer vacation plans.
The British Dietitians Association has previously warned that the concept of a ‘new year and a fresh start’ may lead some to be more at risk of falling victim to fad diets that often do not produce the best results.
And the British Association advised the need to think about what to focus on eating more, such as fiber, rather than just being careful to restrict the diet.
