Why Are Fad Diets So Fashionable?

The number of obese people is expected to rise to a staggering 50% of the population by 2050. As a result we have seen a proportional rise in the promotion of ‘fad’ diets.

These are typically known as ‘celebrity diets’ or ‘lose weight quick schemes’. From the cabbage soup diet to the Zone Diet to the forty eight Hour Miracle diet, each and every single one of these  diets claim to assist you lose weight fast and experience increased metabolic activity.

But do they actually work?

Aside from helping you to notice instant water weight loss, 90% of slimmer’s have reported only modest weight loss of 1-4lbs before reaching a plateau after around two weeks.

Even more disturbing is that once dieter stops consuming these celebrity fad meals they almost immediately regained all lost weight.

Are there any long term implications of these fads?

Whilst these will help dieters to benefit from fast weight loss, most are not good and offer no long term benefit.

Limiting the quantity of nutrients needed to ensure your organs are operating at optimal levels, many involve lowering your calorie content to less than 1,000 calories daily - over half your recommended intake.

Supported by serious sessions in the gym and unrelenting calorie counting, many of those said dietary fads do run the health risk of causing you to feel quezy, fatigued, unable to think straight and more worryingly unable to function properly - all of which are dangerous for your health.

Fad Diets - How can you recognise one?

Fad diets are quite simple to spot. You'll be able to typically tell a fad diet by their promotion of an immediate solution to your body weight loss aspirations.

•Too good to be true claims
•Minimal or total lack of clinical trials
•Elimination of one or more of the 5 daily food groups
•Recommendations from studies without reviews from different researchers

When choosing a dietary fad or herbal supplement, it is imperative to totally research their studies first before adding them into your eating habits. If there are no clinical studies or proof that they can promote safe health advantages, then they probability do not work.

The bottom line is that losing weight is not an overnight sensation. It takes a balance of commitment, healthy eating and exercise. Taking a diet supplement like Proactol can also provide substantial benefits. The fat binding properties of Proactol™ should enable you to manage your weight whilst still eating the foods you love (in moderation of course).
