Scientifically Proven Facts About Weight Loss (Forbes Online)
- Cutting calories by dieting is much more effective for loosing weight than improving the amount of exercise. "If you want to achieve a 300 kcal energy deficit you can run in the park for 3 miles or not eat 2 ounces of potato chips.". Exercising also makes you hungry which makes you eat more anyway.
- Regular exercise is needed though, as it keeps your metabolism from slowing down, which keeps down the rate at which we gain weight.
- After gaining and loosing weight it is harder to maintain the same weight than it was to maintain the weight before you gained and lost it, which means that it's much more effective to make sure you don't gain weight than it is to lose it.
- The idea that some diets are better than other diets for losing weight is a myth, any diet will work as long as it's stuck to.
- It doesn't matter what you eat when you're on a diet as long as you're counting the calories. Eating 500 calories worth of salad will have the same direct affect on your weight loss as eating 500 calories worth of chocolate.
- Allowing yourself to get hungry makes you more likely to make poor decisions regarding diet and exercise, and so it is more effective long term to make sure you don't starve yourself.

The above clip discusses how overweight people sometimes lack the confidence and motivation to attempt to lose weight, and this is the problem we decided to try and address.
We decided that a solution to this would be a gym that had a minimum weight requirement for memberhip, as this would stop people feeling intimidated by more athletic-looking people, and build confidence to do more exercise in public.
The graphic response for this would be the branding of the gym. We'd use yellow because of how it's bright and has positive connotations. The font would be Times New Roman because of how it's average, which is the weight that we want people to aspire to be, as well as the serifs providing a sense of stability. We'd use it in italic to suggest movement.
