How many times have you opened up a newspaper or glossy magazine to see another random celebrity exposing the virtues of the latest fad diets to be doing the rounds in Hollywood and beyond?
The problem is that most of the time these fad diets are not only not all that successful in losing weight, and certainly not on a long term basis, they can actually seriously damage your health.
It is fine for celebrities who can afford top of the range nutritionists to put together their diets, but for most people trying to follow a fad diet is is more likely to make them ill than lose them weight long term.
Why?
Almost all fad diets rely on one thing – a gimmick. They use this gimmick to beat you over the head with a couple of facts, or some pseudo-science. But they then ignore a huge amount of facts.
So taking their information in isolation leaves big wholes in the truth.
Fuel
We need food not just because it tastes nice but to fuel our bodies. Our bodies need a certain amount of certain foods to be able to go. From vitamin C right through to fats (and yes, certain fats are essential, you should never cut all fat out of your diet).
All too often these fad diets ignore these basic principles of human biology and instead try to get you to give up certain foods.
Our bodies need all sorts of foods, form all the food groups, in order to be healthy. As such it is important that you don't cut certain aspects our of your diet completely.
Cutting down on over eating is one thing, and healthy eating should certainly be encouraged – but denying our body what it needs should never be encouraged.
Next time you see a fad diet that tempts you, stop and look at it properly. If it is missing essential foods then walk away, quickly.
