How to Spot a Fad Diet
Greetings!
I was reading today an excellent article that tells you how to spot fad diets, and why you should not do them: They're essentially harmful to your body (and you get all the weight you lose almost as quickly as you lost it [or even quicker].
The article says that one of the main characteristics of a fad diet is that it restricts your food intake to only one or 2 types of food. For instance, there are diets who tell you to eat only fruit, other that tell you to eat only proteins. Do you get the drift? Click here to check out the article (a new window will open).
The problem with such diets is that you end up missing out on nutrients, vitamins and minerals. That's why I personally think that food style regimes (like Weight Watchers) are good because they encourage you to have a balanced diet (eating a little bit of everything... in moderation).
Having said that, there are ways to have alchaline foods and raw vegie and fruit regimes that apparently provide you with everything you need nutritionwise. I have several vegetarian friends who follow sound nutritional practices and are healthy and well nourished.
I would miss my meat too much, but would be willing to give one of these diets a go... just for a little while (a week or so).
Yours in health
