Low Carb Diet Secrets

Going on a fad diet can get results. They can result in quick weight loss. Does this back up the claims from advertising in magazines and on the internet claiming that you will sustain a huge weight loss?

Is this type of weight loss really possible? Yes - but… in almost every instance the weight loss from a fad diet is temporary and usually due to loss of water weight. Our bodies are made up of a large percentage of water so as soon as your body rehydrates itself you will put that quick weight loss right back on.

Here are some reasons why fad diets may not be right for you.

1. Fad diets typically get you to avoid most foods except a single food type. This can result in missing the nutrition you need which is available from a balanced approach.

Vitamins and supplements are often recommended while on a fad diet. Unfortunately, the diet may be lacking in essential foods which help the body absorb these extra nutrients.

2. Fad diets are usually so restrictive and unappetizing that after as little as one day you will begin having overwhelming cravings for other foods and most likely you will not be able to complete the fad diet. This quitting will also wreak havoc on your self esteem as you may beat yourself up for not having enough willpower to stick it out with the diet.

3. Fad diets are temporary solutions to your weight problems. Even if you do follow through to the end with a fad diet you have not made permanent healthy changes to the way you handle food in your life. So fad dieters tend to be yo-yo dieters that go back and forth between extreme lo-calorie fad diets to periods of bingeing on food groups that were missing from the fad diet. So fad dieters are on a roller coaster of gaining and losing the same darn pounds again and again.

No matter what you see in the media about quick weight loss fad diets, realize that these diets will never work long term.

The best way to lose weight and sustain that weight loss (so you never have to diet again) is to eat a variety of healthy foods, avoid overeating, and do regular exercise. This simple formula works every time.
