If you have spend a time in Barnes&Nobles magazine sections, I am positive you have seen many popular magazines claiming to have the next best secret, the new weight loss diet guaranteed to make you skinny or the best pill that will make your body drop pounds in an instant.
It's all good. I guess the media have the power to get you into a fad diet craze.
Now I have promised myself to take an action step, that will help you spot Fad Diets in a second. That will prevent you from yo-yo-dieting or frustration many of these fad diets put on your shoulders.
Reason No. 1 Why Fad Diets Do Not Work:
I hope you are thinking like me. So let's see. When you look around you what do you see? Many healthy fit people or big, fat people who even have problems with breathing or walking? Now look how many fad diets you see advertised? Atkins, Zone, Ornish etc...
Now, if there are thousands of fad diets on today's market place, don't you think that you should see less and less fat people around?
It would make sense, but the opposite is true. For which my common sense responds, that fad diets do not work! If they would, you would see skinny people all day long.
Second Reason Why Fad Diets Do Not Work:
This reason is more science based. Many fad diets will want you to drastically cut down on calories, will remove certain food groups from your list and let you starve!
That is not healthy way of eating. Why? Well, if you starve yourself, your body naturally responds and your inside mechanism switch to a fat storage mode.
You cannot do much about it. Your body does it by itself. It's a gift from evolution, where hunters needed to survive even without eating for long periods of time. I guess that time catching a Mammoth was not as easy. So for the time they were preparing for the next feast, their body had to breakdown fat for energy so they can keep going and going. When they caught something, the food digested converted to fat again.
So what is your goal?
Simply stop reading books about these fad diets. Now you know they do not work anyway so why waste time and money on them?
Second, you want to make sure that you never put your body into that "unconscious starvation mode" switch.
Then just combine all the healthy eating habits with regular exercise like jogging, yoga, martial arts, or what ever you like. Only then you will see new improvements towards healthier you.
Remember: stop looking for a fad diets and change your lifestyle habits to become healthier you again. - 15683
