Weight loss advice comes in many guises, using radical words like the most effective “newest diet in the market,” “the revolutionary approach to dieting” or “the ultimate dieting” program and more.
All of these are really recycled fad diets making an encore appearance. However, the lure of an easy weight loss programs is actually hard to resist.
Most of the time these are all just gimmicks. Yet weight loss hopefuls are willing to give the latest dieting craze a chance.
Let’s try to sort out the fact from fiction.
Food Specific Diets
These diets promote one food with special properties that can cause weight loss. Examples are the grapefruit and cabbage soup diet.
Eating just one food while excluding others can result in weight loss because eating the same food becomes boring.
In the end, you end up not eating the food or not enough of it to maintain your weight. These diets do not reach healthy eating habits and are usually not nutritionally balanced.
