Thursday, January 21st, 2010
What is a fad diet?
A fad diet is a weight loss plan or aid that promises dramatic results. These diets offer no long-term success and usually not very healthy. Some of these can be hazardous to your health.
If fad diets do not work, why are they so popular?
People are often willing to try anything that promises to help them lose weight because they want to look or feel better, or because they are worried that give them weight-related diseases. Companies that promote fad diets take advantage of this fact. They appeal to the people by promising weight loss that’s very quick and easy. Many people prefer to try the quick fix of a fad diet instead of making the effort to lose weight by making long-term changes in eating habits and physical activity.
Fad diets also become popular because many work for a short time. In many cases this is because when you stop eating certain food or eat “special” combinations of foods, you consume less calories than you normally eat. Additionally, you are paying more attention to what you’re eating.
