Are Fad Diets The Answer?
Chances are you can name a few fad diets right off the top of your head. Some of the more popular are the Atkins, Zone and South Beach, but there are many more.
Some people are still searching for the "best diet drug", latest surgery, or even clinging to the myth that dairy will produce magical results.
If all of these fads aren't bad enough, some people are even holding to more traditional methods, you know, the ones that promote drastically cutting calorie intake. Actually, starvation would be more accurate.
These diets are just like the latest fashion craze... they come and go. However, unlike the latest hot pair of jeans, many of these weight loss methods can be dangerous.
Weight loss methods that promote drastically cutting carbohydrates and eating more animal proteins have been the latest craze. You have heard of people losing weight by restricting carbs? Perhaps you even know somebody who has?
Or is it?
The truth is that severely restricting carbohydrates is dangerous!
Studies have also shown that in most cases any weight loss experienced using such methods doesn't last.
It's not only the restricted-carb weight loss methods. Some fad diets promote drastically cutting caloric intake? Basically starving yourself! Let's use some common sense on this one...
Have you ever seen photos of the people in Africa who are starving? Or of people who are anorexic?
Enough Said...
Your body needs nutrition and any diet that promotes starvation is incredibly unhealthy.
You may lose weight to begin with, but you will never achieve lasting results. When you starve your body it goes into survival mode and begins to store everything you eat. This is why many people who have gone on starvation diets to lose weight get a big surprise when they go back to normal eating habits.
They gain it all right back and then some!
If you are looking to lose weight be skeptical of fad diets. The vast majority of fad diets do not work in the long run and can be harmful to your health.
