Run Away from Fad Diets as Fast as You Can
Now you're wondering why fad diets are such a big trouble. If you have ever done any research, you might have seen numerous websites that guarantee weight loss overnight or in a matter of days.
These programs, however, do not tell you that the results are only temporary. Approximately, 90% of what you've lost is water. As soon as you rehydrate your body, the weight will be back. And you have no other choice because if you don't, you'll suffer severe health problems and at worst, death.
Some popular fad diets are not what we call crash diets. These diets have been around for a while and what they try to do is to part you and I from our hard-earned money and make their inventors rich.
Good nutrition plans are available. However, why spend money when you can obtain the same information from your doctor for free? On the downside, they can be too difficult to follow, which is why many give up in no time.
The bad of fad diets
1. Here's the fact about weight loss programs that promise you a quick fix. They require you to eat certain types of food. Following those programs means that you're not getting a balanced diet.
They may suggest supplements but many supplements are not absorbed by the body unless they are taken along with the foods that the diet has banned. After a few weeks, if you stick to it that long, you may begin to suffer nutritional deficiencies.
2. Fad diets are often boring and over restrictive. After the first day or two, you'll not enjoy your meals anymore. You'll then start to crave food constantly and break the diet. You may even feel guilty, thinking it is your fault that you did not lose weight.
3. Most fad diets do not follow recommendations of the American Heart Association and similar bodies. The promoters may argue that you'll just follow the diet for a short time. But if you do not reach your desired weight in that time, then what? You either continue with a plan that is not good for your health, or stop and probably gain back what you've lost.
4. Your body needs a wide variety of foods. However, fad diet programs do not always provide you with sufficient intake of fruits and vegetables.
5. Fad diets are nothing but a temporary solution which does not produce permanent results. Permanent results need a permanent solution.
Yo-yo fad diets only make your weight fluctuate. And in some cases, you may end up gaining more weight than you've lost. The up-and-down weight issue hurts not only your health but also your self-esteem.
Whatever the publicity materials may say, these diets will not help you in the long term. The best way to sustain weight loss is to eat a varied and healthy diet, do not overeat, exercise regularly and avoid fad diets. - 17269
