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.
