Fad diets are a sort of diet plan that aim at losing weight, usually in a relatively short time. Fad diets attract a large number of people who suffer from weight problems and are usually looking for a quick fix. The problem with fad diets is that their fat-reducing effect is temporary and result in weight packing back on. What is worse is that most of these diets are harmful to your health.
These date way back to the mid 19th century when an obese Londoner was prescribed such a diet on experimental basis. Now, after a century and a half, fad diets have become popular among people with weight problems. Teens and young adults especially flock to fad diets for answers to weight problems. Given the harmful health effects of fad diets, it is important for us to recognize these diet plans.
Watch out for diets that:
1.Promise quick weight loss
2.Tend to limit natural food choices
3.Require a large sum of money
If you have been following my struggles with weight-loss here or on Twitter, you know that I have searched many ways to get healthy. I have tried regular exercise, but hate it, so I give up within a day or two. I have tried the Atkins diet, Healthy Choice diet which like most ready made meals, has way too much salt and just trying to eat healthy on my own.
I have been hiking on trails and through The Ape Caves Lava tube near Mt St Helen with my son and love that sort of workout but was still eating badly. Large portions, too much dairy, chips and fast food. Last week I had a breakthrough with what I hope to be a lifelong healthy habit of eating right.
I found military veteran Vic Magary’s website called Gym Junkies. This guy isn’t trying to sell me something all the time. He speaks in plain English. He tells it like it really is, not what you think you want to hear. He actually broke down what you should and shouldn’t eat in easy to understand terms. Instead of the usual carb this or hypoglycemic that. He has a simple to follow diet and meal plan that I’ve used for one week. I lost 5 pounds already!!!
I have focused on the exercise for so long with no results that having this happen is amazing. I plan on keeping it going and will incorporate exercise that I like as I go along. Thank you Vic for speaking my language and for actually caring instead of just asking me for money at every turn.
