Press Release Summary = Anti-dieting charity The Weight Foundation develops new
dieting behavior self-test to help dieters identify and combat problem eating
behavior.


Press Release Body = Anti-dieting charity The Weight Foundation has released a free
self-test to help dieters analyze their behavior towards food and eating.

The nonprofit researches long-term dieting and develops strategies for lasting and
natural weight control.

Detailed interviews with over 500 persistent dieters has allowed the creation of its
Hardcore Dieting Index self-diagnostic questionnaire.

The Manchester UK-based organization has developed its own
categorization of what it calls Hardcore Dieters - people whose lives are dominated
by eating and self-image issues. Its detailed test, which is a product of 4 years of
international research, allows long-term dieters to pinpoint their own habits.

"Far too many people suffer miserable lives divorced from a relaxed relationship
with food and eating. The key to lasting weight control is not persistent dieting
but rather holding food only as a necessary tool of life, not one\'s master," says
The Weight Foundation\'s founder and secretary Malcolm Evans, 46.

"By making this new self-test freely available to everyone on our website we hope
many dieters will take their first permanent steps to shedding both their eating
hang-ups and quite a few unwanted pounds."

The Hardcore Dieting Index self-test can be found on The Weight Foundation\'s website.
