Do Fad Diets Work?

A lot of fad diets will allow you to lose weight in a relatively short period of time.

You might ask yourself what is the problem with that.

Well let’s take a look at some of the potential problems associated with fad diets.

Fad Diets Only Result Short Term Results

First can some of the claims about losing weight very quickly be true?

The answer to that question is yes. Some of these diets will allow you to lose a

substantial amount of weight in a very short period of time

Is this type of weight loss really possible?

Yes – you can lose a lot of weight with some of these fad diets but usually your weight loss is only temporary and sometimes you even gain more weight after the diet is over.

One of the reasons that individuals lose weight on these diets is due to losing water.

When you lose weight due to losing water, the weight lose is definitely temporary because your body will rehydrate and then the pounds just come right back.

Here are some other reasons a fad diet may not be the best diet for you.

1. Some fad diets tell you to focus on a certain food type and avoid other food types.

This may lead to fast weight loss but it is not healthy. You will not get the required nutrition. A balanced diet is healthier as it will ensure you get the tradition you need.

Fad diets will try and make up for this lack of nutrition by making you take vitamins and supplements.

They usually sell their own brands to you at quite a high cost. One problem, besides the extra expense, is that your body

may not be absorb these nutrients unless you take them with food.

The problem is that most of the food required to help with the absorption process are banned from the fad diets.

2. The next problem with fad diets is that they can be very restrictive and not very satisfying.

This makes it difficult to stick to the diet due to the cravings that you will encounter.

These cravings can lead you to fall of your diet. No big deal but it can hurt your self esteem.

You may feel you just do not have the willpower to make the diet work.

You decide to just give up your diet because you think that you cannot stick to it.

3. Even if you do not fall off your diet and lose a bunch of weight, your food cravings that you had during the diet will more than likely cause you to fall back to your old eating habits.

You go out and eat what you were craving. You gain your weight back and then you go back on your diet to lose it again.

This creates a viscous cycle and leads to yo-yo dieting.

Yo-Yo dieting is not healthy and will likely cause you to gain weight over the long term.

Don’t let the ads fool you.

Fad diets will likely just cost you money and not have the long term effects that you are truly looking for.

Conclusion

If you want to lose weight you should eat a balanced healthy diet and get exercise.

If you change your lifestyle to better eating habits and more exercise, you may not lose weight as fast as a fad diet.

However it will be healthier and you are more likely to keep the wait off long term.

This simple strategy really is the best way to lose weight.
