Run Away from Fad Diets as Fast as You Can
It's hard to believe fad diets are bad when so many people say they have positive results. The internet does not help in the matter either. Countless websites claim that fad diets show significant weight loss in just a couple 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.
Some are good nutrition plans, though. But they cost you money while you can get the information from your doctor for free. Or those plans are too hard to get along with, so many folks give up after a week or two.
Why are fad diets so bad? Read on.
1. If a diet program promises you quick and easy weight loss, it's often based on eating certain types of food. However, consuming only some kinds of food will prevent you from 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.

3. Fad diets do not meet the requirements of the American Heart Association. "These diets are short term", promoters might argue. But what happens if you do not reach your goals? Now make your choice: continue what's bad for your health or stop and you'll most likely gain all your weight back.
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. Fad diets are nothing but a temporary solution which does not produce permanent results. Permanent results need a permanent solution.
The effects of fad diet are like a roller coaster of weight loss " weight gain, which is bad for your health, not to mention your self-esteem. You would be better off staying overweight all the time.
