The Facts About Fad Diets

There’s always a new one isn’t there?! For a while it was the low-carb craze that was the hottest fad diet around for weight loss. Maybe you’ve tried Atkins, South Beach or The Zone. Perhaps you’ve even tried diets with packaged foods and/or shakes to lose weight.

There’s just so many of them out there, it’s no wonder we’re all so confused! Should you follow low-carb, low-calorie, or low-fat, or is there a new gimmick that's supposed to help you lose weight (and look as hot as the models that advertised them)?

I’ve struggled with my weight and I must admit, I tried many of these fad diets too. But I found that I just don’t do well with deprivation. Sometimes I just really want to enjoy a Dairy Queen ice cream cone.

Now I was able to lose some weight with some of these fad diets, but it always came back (plus some) once I resumed ‘normal eating.’

Here are a few of the fad diets I’ve tried over the years, see how many you've tried:
• Low-carb diet
• Low-fat diet
• Liquid diet (protein shakes)
• Grapefruit diet
• Detox diet
• Cabbage Soup diet

Since then I’ve learned that losing weight (permanent weight loss anyways) requires more than just following a specific diet. The key is overcoming the barriers that are standing in your way (both mentally and physically) and then you need to create a plan that will become a lifestyle plan, so that when you do lose weight, it doesn’t come right back on.
