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.
Fad diets, yes, will help us lose weight. However, it's 90% water. The water you've lost needs to be replenished or you'll face serious health issues. One of them is irreversible, death.
We also have over hyped fad diets that are not crash diets which push you to the extremes. However, these do not help you lose fat. They only help you lose money.
At best, these are good nutrition plans which will help you lose weight, but which you could probably have gotten for free from your doctor. At worst, they prove too difficult to follow that you will give up after a week.
Why are fad diets so bad? Read on.
1. Diets that promise quick and easy weight loss are usually based on eating more of one food type and none of another. These do not give the benefits that you would get from a balanced diet.
Supplements are often offered. However, your body may not be able to absorb them unless you eat foods that are prohibited by these programs. Then, if you can continue your diet for long, your body will probably experience nutritional deficiencies.
2. Boring and restrictive, fad diets always are. Start a fad and you'll see. Forget about happy eating, the fact is you will not enjoy your meals. If that's not bad enough, food cravings will kick in. You will break your diet, feeling guilty and frustrated as you did not lose any weight.
3. American Heart Association, we all know it. However, fad diets do not follow their recommendations. Promoters argue that the diet is for just a short period. So tell me what happens if you do not obtain your weight loss goal in that time? You'll stop dieting and gain your weight back or you'll continue and run the risk of major health issues.
4. Many fad diets do not help you to incorporate enough servings of fruits and vegetables in your weight loss program, or give you the variety of foods that your body needs.
5. Sorry to tell you that quick weight loss programs are only quick fixes. They're not permanent. Once you have reached your goal, the only way to maintain it is to change your eating habit.
Fad diets encourage yo-yo diet-binge cycles of fast weight loss and equally fast weight gain. This is worse for your health and your self-esteem than if you stay overweight all the time.
The only way to lose weight for good is to follow a healthy and moderate diet, exercise regularly and stay away from fad diets. If you come across a fad, run as fast as you can and don't look back.
