Losing Weight Fast By Trying A Fad Diet!

By Lee Reid

The type of diet that gains immense popularity very quickly and then goes down, sometimes just as fast is called a fad diet.Fad diets are considered ineffective or just the latest craze by some people but not all fad diets are bad, some are actually popular because they are effective.

Nevertheless if you decide to follow a fad diet, it is imperative that you consider the results you would expect from the diet and also the effects of the fad diet on your eating habits.Fad diets are usually designed to promote a substantial amount of weight loss in a short amount of time.

Hence when following a fad diet you have to make sure that you don't gain all the weight you lost during the diet the moment you stop. Even though the more conventional diets take time for you to lose the weight, they are better in the long run as you are able to keep away the weight you lose and also maintain healthy eating habits.

Having said that, fad diets are a great way for quick significant weight loss. If you are looking to lose weight fast for a special occasion or day then a fad diet is the best way to go.

Presently, there are number of fad diets available. A fad diet that soared into popularity was the grapefruit diet. This fad diet worked mainly by allowing you to eat nothing but grapefruit for twelve days, along with the occasional egg and coffee. Basically the main purpose of this diet was to make sure that you would consume less then 600 calories per day. This fad diet was highly effective for quick weight loss. Nevertheless people found that the moment they stopped they gained back all the weight they had lost.

Although fad diets are highly effective for rapid short term weight loss, they are generally not healthy and therefore not suitable for long term use. It is more effective for you to follow a diet which ensures that you lose weight slowly and also does not deprive you of all the nutrients you body needs. Hence although fad diets are ideal for rapid weight loss, eventually it is better to follow something that will make sure that you would lose weight while keeping it from coming back. - 17273
