Why Are Fad Diets Bad for You? :

Fat Loss 4 IdiotsFad diets or to use a more accurate term, crash diets are
pretty popular because they promise rapid weight loss in a
very short space of time. Most people are desperate to lose
weight fast and will try anything that even remotely
suggests this solution, but how true are these claims? Lets
find out.


1. Sure, you will lose weight, but in almost all cases the
weight loss is temporary and is mostly water. Once you start
to rehydrate - and you have to otherwise you could face
serious consequences, even death - the weight will return.


2.Fad diets are often very rigid and boring. Its the all or
nothing dieting approach, where you must have certain foods
and nothing else, or you must do this at that time with no
margin for error. How long do you think you'll keep going?
Eventually you will start craving food all the time and
probably just quit.


3.Most fad diets don't allow for enough fruits and
vegetables in your weight loss diet or give you enough of a
variety of foods that you need to consume.


4.Most fad diets that promise rapid weight loss usually
concentrates on one type of food at the expense of another.
This does not provide a well balanced diet. To counter this
they stipulate taking vitamins, but some vitamins are only
absorbed by the body in conjunction with certain foods. As a
result certain nutritional problems may arise.


5.Most fat content in fad diets are above the levels advised
by the American Heart Association (AHA) and other health
associations. Low carbs and high fat diets, over time, can
cause cardiac or heart problems.


6.Fad diets are short term solutions that do not ingrain
longterm lifestyle changes required for you to lose weight
and keep it off. It is more of a quick loss, quick gain
system that does nothing for effective and permanent weight
loss, and does even less for your health and emotional
state.


Whatever the marketing material and outrageous claims might
say, fad diets are not long term solutions. They are nothing
more than over hyped diet programs that tends to be the
trend of the moment for a while and make someone lots of
money. The most effective way to lose weight is a well
balanced, healthy diet, exercise and to avoid fad diets.
