Fad diets come and go and sometime reappear again. They will always be around to tempt us to try losing weight fast. The advertising sucks us in to believe their diet claims. Sometimes celebrities endorse their diet, sucking us in further.
The problem with fad dieting is you do not really lose any weight. You lose a few pounds of water weight. You will regain the water weight quickly when you resume your regular diet. It is very disappointing for people and they should avoid fad diets all together. There are better and healthier ways to lose weight.
You can spot a fad diet, they all have common traits. The fad diet advertiser makes promises of losing weight fast. They advertise outrageous claims for losing weight fast.
Fad diets all restrict your caloric intake, sometimes drastically. Some of them use tactics of good food and ‘bad food.’ That is food you are allowed to eat and foods you cannot eat. They will sometimes choose one food group over another, use replacement meal shakes and use diet pills and supplements.
These are some of the things to look out for in a fad diet. Losing weight fast like this can cause unpleasant side effects and be dangerous to your health.
There are psychological and physiological side effects to losing weight fast. The physiological side effects
of fad diets can include nutritional deficiencies, too much or too little protein, not enough carbohydrates and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Fatigue, dehydration, constipation, weakness and electrolyte imbalance are all side effects of fad dieting.
The psychological affects can be quite distressing. Someone may feel bad about themselves because of their weight. They may try one fad diet after another never losing weight. This could lead to low self esteem and depession for some people.
There are healthy diet programs out there. There are also dieticians to help you how to learn how to lose weight safely. The emotional support is out there too if you join a group.
Just remember that any diet under 1200 calories is not safe. Most people can lose weight on 1500 calories a day with an exercise plan. You will not feel deprived at 1500 calories and you will feel great eating a well balanced diet.
Some people find that sticking to an exercise plan is difficult, they are too busy. You have to take some time for yourself and exercise to lose weight and for your health. Get a friend to start walking with you or join a club with you. Many big franchise exercise clubs have baby sitting right on sight.
Remember to avoid the losing weight fast diets. You have lost the weight and feel great. You
have made a major lifestyle change. Eat well and exercise for your health.
