The insanity regarding loss has affected every obese person out there. And why not? After all, Christmas is coming, and people want to lose fast so that they look their best at parties. A decision to lose is a good one, but you need to do it healthily. Unfortunately, most people take to the unhealthy loss method called ‘fad dieting’ and end up losing muscles rather than fat.
Keep in mind that a fad diet cannot offer you a permanent loss solution; only a healthy food plan can. So don’t focus on how to lose fast; rather, focus on how to become healthy through weight loss. In this article I will tell you about top four fad diets you mustn’t follow.
1. Liquid diet: Under this diet plan, you are required to eat only liquids and avoid all solid foods. Liquids such as milk, protein shakes, and fruit juices are recommended. If you follow this diet only for a few days, you will become weak and limp. This is definitely not a practical diet to go with since you won’t be able to follow it for the rest of your life.
2. Grapefruit diet: Have you ever heard of or followed this diet? If you have, you will know that this diet plan restricts your food intake to a ridiculously low level, probably to that of a baby. Under this diet plan, you need to eat only grapefruit and protein-rich foods at every single meal of the day. This diet is based on the belief that when protein is combined with grapefruit, it accelerates a person’s fat burning process by enhancing his metabolism, thereby helping him lose weight.
Now this might be true, but ask yourself – could you eat grapefruits all your life? I would surely get bored. Plus the loss you achieve through this diet would be just temporary. Obviously, this is not a diet plan for you.
