Fad Diets STILL Don’t Work!!

Fad diets are just that … a diet … to be used short term. They usually promise quick weight loss and are only a good for a quick fix.

They are not weight loss programs. They do not teach or encourage habits that will lead to Effective Weight Loss. Each diet is unique in some way. Follow them with caution. Most of them are very low in calories. And a lot of them just plain don’t make any sense at all. You can often easily spot a fad. Often times they rely on a certain type of food or eliminate entire food groups. They promise that by using their… unique twist … That you can trick your body’s metabolism and lose weight rapidly.
