Why Fad Diets Don't Work

Why don’t fad diets work? The answer is simple because they’re not natural. Fad diet is a term that describes an array of diet approaches used to temporarily lose weight through unsafe and unrealistic methods. Quick fix programs do not work although millions of dollars are spent each year. These programs offer a quick loss of weight but sadly the weight is gained right back because people return to their old eating habits, to their old life style. 
There are many kinds of fad diets.  Avoid those types of diets that recommend a certain nutrient, or combination of foods encouraging you to loss weight fast. Nutritional deficiencies and short-term weight loss may also be caused by the unusual quantities of a food or lack of a well balanced diet. Fad diets do not teach lifestyle habits for long-term weight management, they do not help people gain the will power to exchange one lifestyle for another.
