Why is it thought that so many diets fail?
 
  a. Historically, men were always attracted to more voluptuous women; thus from an evolutionary standpoint, retaining fat stores promotes procreation and the survival of the species.
  b. It is a rare and recent occurrence for humans to have too much food; thus the human body has evolved to keep weight on, not to lose it.
  c. Marketing strategists purposely design diets to fail; with each unsuccessful diet attempt, the consumer must purchase new diet aides.
  d. Humans have evolved to have very little willpower in general; lower willpower is beneficial for a pack mentality, which supports survival of the species.
