Pilates is not.. ...a pure weight loss program. It will not take you from a size 14 to a size 8 without incorporating diet into the program. Joseph Pilates himself knew that exercise alone will not cause you to lose weight. Only a change in diet along with a consistent exercise program will put you in a position for weight loss to happen!
