New diets come out all of the time and I'll give them one credit, they can be motivating. The idea of trying something new and following a plan to benefit yourself is a lot easier than doing it on your own.Still, fad diets can do more harm than good. If you want motivation it is much better to hire a personal trainer and/or nutritionist to develop a program and meal plan for you.
Three Reasons to Avoid Fad Diets
1. Many diets skip food groups. Just because a diet has been effective for some people, doesn't mean they are healthy. When The Atkins Diet came out, people were pleasantly surprised that they could eat as much bacon, eggs and cheese as they wanted. However, while eating only protein causes weight loss, the diet also had high amounts of saturated fat which is bad for your heart. With no carbs many participants complained of headaches, feeling weak and having stomach upset. Carbohydrates give you energy and they feed your brain. Without them you cannot function properly inside or out!
2. Fad Diets leave you feeling deprived. Diets like Slimfast and the Cabbage Soup Diet are repetitive and boring. Drinking shakes all day or eating a lot of soup may help you to lose weight but you are also starving yourself. These types of diets cannot be maintained forever because your body will crave proper food. When you do eat right again, you will gain the weight back.
3. Weight fluctuations are bad for your health. If you try out a diet and lose weight, then go off the diet and gain it back you are endangering your health. In addition to unhealthy weight loss and gain, every time you lose weight and put it back on, it is harder to get rid of it again.
Fad diets are usually marketing gimmicks used to entice consumers. They are advertised as tasty, easy and effective. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
It's much better to do things the old fashioned way with exercise and a proper diet for safe long lasting results and a healthy body.
