Fad-Diets that Should Not be a Part of Your Health Goal


The world of dieting and fitness is often confusing to many beginners.  Every healthy enthusiast starts with goals. But there are often more ‘fad diets’ circulating in the health and wellness industry compared to real diets. No matter what you are eating or not eating, diet without a combination of exercises are not beneficial. Diet also doesn’t mean that you start fasting from your favorite kind of food items. You just need to learn a way to maintain a healthy balance of indulgence. If you are following these diet regimes, consult with your physician.

• Low-Carbs Diet: This diet restricts the amount of carbohydrates consumption to very little or less. The primary energy source in a keto diet is derived from healthy fats like white meat, avocado, seeds and nut butters. The portion of carb if at all consumed is very limited. While Ketogenic diet can help in achieving temporary weight loss goals, it is not a healthy diet to be adhered to for long.

• Raw Food Diet: This fad diet restricts the intake of cooked food within 118-degree Fahrenheit. It allows you to eat as much you want of any raw and vegetarian food. This diet is extremely risky resulting in multiple nutrition deficiencies. You cannot consume any cooked food like best basmati rice, quinoa, flat breads, etc.

• Cleanse Diet: This diet created quite a hype among celebrities, guaranteeing weight loss. It entails you to drink only fresh lemon juice mixed with water for two weeks! Sometimes mild laxatives are also used. Although it is a speedy way to drop a few pounds of water weight, it is not at all a healthy way for weight loss.

• Soup diet: This calorie restrictive diet allows you to eat low calorie soup. You can eat 500 or 800 calories per day. This dangerous diet will adversely affect your metabolism and harm your body. This diet will certainly lead to rapid weight loss due to starvation of the body. However, the weight is gained back once the diet is over.

• Weight Watchers’ diet: This diet is popularized by celebrities, which involves intensive calorie monitoring. You are not allowed to eat anything which is not in the diet plan. This kind of starvation leads to a weak immune system and multiple deficiencies. You can add limited portions of wholesome food grains like quinoa, brown rice, etc. in your diet plan.

No matter what promises these diets guarantees, you must consult your physician. If weight loss is your goal, eat healthy with a combination of daily exercises. Eliminate refined sugar, flour, processed food, soda, junk food from your daily meal. Instead focus on eating healthy food items.
