Fad
Diets don't work because they are flawed at the grass root
level!
By Sherali S. Bharwani
Fad diet is a term used to
describe a whole array of short term, ad-hoc diet approaches
used to temporarily lose weight through unsafe and
unrealistic methods.
There is a new method in
the market every other day falling in this category. Fat
diets work like this in general:
-
For a short period of
time (10 days to 1 month), your diet is restricted to a
select collection of bad-tasting health foods or
recipes. Also, you're told to minimize your eating in
this period. The diets vary a lot but generally fats are
completely avoided in these diets.
-
As a reaction of this
'starvation diet', initially your body cells lose water
and there is a rapid apparent loss of weight (due to
water loss).
-
After the initial water
loss period, as you continue to starve, your body starts
to burn your muscle mass in order to keep up with the
energy needs. It will still not start burning fats which
is the basic reason behind obesity. And as you avoid
fats in your diet in this period, your body will try to
preserve every pound of fat that it has in its store.
-
If the dieter goes on
with the fad diet for about 2 weeks to 1 month,
eventually most of the muscle mass is burnt and then the
body starts burning the stored fats having no other
alternative to stay alive. But the dieter starts getting
weaker, gets lazy and is not able to perform or live
well in this initial stage of fat loss because it
requires a lot more effort and time for the body to
produce energy from fat rather than from muscle.
-
And finally something
breaks and generally it's the diet plan (and thankfully
enough because otherwise the dieter will be starved to
death losing fat). At this stage, the dieter is back to
his normal eating but as that happens, initially the
body is perplexed. It thinks some kind of joke is being
played upon it. First, a food supply that wouldn't keep
a mouse going.. and now.. you're feeding like an
elephant.
-
So the body takes some
time before it's back to re-structuring your muscle and
during this time, it stores most of the food intake as
excess fats.
-
So at the end of it all,
the dieter is back to his initial weight gaining back
all the weight he lost and quite often, little bit more.
That's
how fad diets fail, every single time they're followed, 100%
of times! because they're destined to fail.
As described above, one
cannot lose weight permanently with fad diets without
starving himself to death. So fat diet approach is flawed at
the basic level. It can never successfully make you slim.
The only approach that
works in order to get rid of the obesity problem permanently
is the simple lifestyle shift approach to weight loss which
