7 Reasons Why Fad Diets Are F"&%ED

What You Should Know

A Fad diet is a conventional diet that promises people fast results through simple methods. These diets are very tempting given that losing weight is a challenge to many people, with most of them having a misconception that they can lose weight overnight. The fact is fad diets are all hype and may cause you even more harm than good. 

Below Are 7 Reasons why Fad Diets are F#&K§D

Unnecessary food restrictions: Fad diets that promise quick weight loss will usually instruct you to eat more of one food type and restrict yourself from eating another food type. This could lead to an unbalanced diet. To address that, fad diets will usually recommend many supplements, but many supplements might cause nutritional deficiencies.

Against the fat level recommended -- Fad diets do not follow recommendations for fat concentrations in the diet. Most fad diets will recommend high fat and low carb diet, which is not suitable for your health when taken long term. You will indeed lose weight but taking so much fat could lead to heart disease.

Failure to address the root cause of weight gain -- fad diets are considered flawed because these diets do not address the root cause of the weight gain. You regain back the weight you lost at the end of the day! Expensive -- Some fad diets require people to take pills and drink potions which can be costly.

Anti-exercises: Any diet that promises you weight loss without counting your calories or doing exercise is a fad diet. These diets do not encourage weight loss patients to incorporate activities into their programs. 

Elimination of healthy foods: Usually, fad diets ask people to eliminate certain food groups from their diet because they are wrong. Some of the foods are carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential fatty acids.

Short-term results: Fad diets are just a temporary solution and will not make any permanent change to your figure and eating habits. In a few weeks, you will regain all the weight as you fall back to your old eating habits. 

Extremely unhealthy -- The short-term weight loss effects followed by weight gain are incredibly harmful and may cause many diseases such as high blood pressure or coronary heart disease.

There are better ways to lose the weight and stay healthy.

Let's think about the long term journey and not just a fast fix for a few weeks in the summer.

Have A Great Day,

Rob
