Losing weight is no longer just a New Year resolution according the research that suggests nearly a third of Brits are on a permanent diet.

Mintel found one in three (31%) Brits on a more or less permanent diet, causing sales of diet and weight control food to stagnate. Sales of weight control foods rose by 10% to £1.6bn between 2007 and 2012, but came to a standstill in 2012.
