Why you should not go on Fad Diet?
We all have seen the ads with the long necks, slim body super models, and have tried our hardest to emulate that ideal image of that person. Many people have tried out those “Fab diet” that they have seen flipping through the magazines at the supermarket. The term "fad diet" refers to a weight loss plan that is popular for a short period of time. This type of diet usually claims one will lose weight by methods other than calorie restrictions (Staff, P. 2014). Now of day it is more fad diet commercial than ever. Selling the idea of losing weight by cutting a food group that causes weight loss. All these so call diet shown do have serious repercussions …show more content…
on the your overall health. How many of people has tried these kind of diets like Paleo, South Beach, and Atkins, the grapefruit diet, potatoes diet, gluten-free, juicing and cleanings diet, HGC and injections, and the list goes on. Well I am going to give you three reasons why you should not go on a fab diets. For wind up gaining the weight back, you begin to have digestive problems, and it affect your metabolism.
Weight loss/ Weight gain
These diets are designed to offer hope of losing weight, but no take in to fact that this information varies per person. These diets may provide short-term results, but losing weight is hard because they are difficult to stick to. Fad diets or crash diets can harm your health. For example take the potatoes diet may allow you to lose some weight, but overall you would be consuming on 1200 calories of the potatoes, and you would be consuming one part of the pyramid (Dawson, A. (2013, Sep 21)).
Permanent weight loss can be through working through the proper changes in one’s lifestyle. Like working out, eating right, and being aware of eating. These are important in losing weight and keeping it off. From a consume report of 2002 it showed that nearly a quarter of the 32,213 dieters who answered our questionnaire lost at least 10 percent of their starting weight and kept it off for at least a year, a standard definition of weight-loss success (Consumer Reports, 2002). Another reason why dieting don’t work and because you to regain the weight back is due to the fact that you get off the diet, which caused the pounds that were once gone to come back.
Another example diet that was destine to fail was the Atkins diet by Dr. Robert C. Atkins. Now the overall destine of the diet consist of high-fat, ultra-low-carbohydrate regimen. This diet basically excluded all vegetables from it, and like meats and vegetables hold important essential vitamin that you need in order to keep the body running (Consumer Reports, 2002).
In addition losing rapid weight loss can result in you losing muscle instead of actual body fat, that why it is important to consult a doctor on the matter of a diet. The effect of you doing rapid weight can result in you losing muscle instead of actual body fat, that why it is important to consult a doctor on the matter of a diet. The effect of you doing it yourself can result in you damaging important organs in your body that you need. This next story is prime example.
Meet Natashia she is 5’6 and weighs 210 pound. She is thick in all the right place, however her peers and doctor seem to think otherwise. She was told that she is overweight for her height, and she was recommended to go on diet. Now Natashia research and search for a way to drop weight quickly, and she came across a website that displayed the current and in style “Fad diet” including a four week work out plan. Also including supplements, energy bars, shakes, and a 1200 calories meal plan. It appear to be ideal, however she never stop to read the ingredients. She though this should be easily, but now Natashia had lose the weight but now has a failed kidney. Not only did Natashia lose weight, she also has a fail kidney due to a nutrient deficiency. Due to this diet Natashia was prohibited from eating certain types of food that resulted in the lack carbohydrates, which lead to serious nutritional deficiency. She loss a significant amount of weight that resulted in failed kidney.
You’re Body
Nutrition is important to keep your body functioning correctly to help you burn the necessary calories so that you can look slimmer. What if you stop feeding your body? This is what the cause in most of these fab diets is usually. Why you might ask? Because we all have a tiny factory working inside of our bodies.
Your digestive system is important part of your body. It basically breaks down the food that you consume. Now our stomach basically inform the other organs in your GI Tract system whether or not you have consume the right amount of vitamins to allow the other organs such as the pancreas to release enzymes.
What does that mean? That mean if you cut off important things like carbohydrates from your from your diets can cause you to become constipation (Nash, J. M., 2002).You should eat more. If you monitor your portions, and eat all of your food groups, this should help your body to produce the proper enzymes need help fuel cells. Important cells that help your body fight off flus and stay healthy enough to process your food.
Affects Metabolism
Your metabolism help you stay active and moving throughout the day and without it you would be a sleepy mess. Think of it like this… Your body break down the foods that you consume in order to keep your “Furnace “running strong through the day. This is why it is important to not stave the body, and it gives the body the right food so that it can create insulin to keep you moving about.
When you start doing detrimental things to your body such as not having the right diet, or not consuming the right amount vitamins it become hard for the body work for you. The body began run on empty. And this is due to the diet that you are normally on. This is another effect of the particular diets.
Clearly the obesity rates have grown quite rapidly throughout country and the world-wide. It see that more countries are become more Westernized so I under the reason why so many people have choose these type of diet (Blunt, E. (2014). Due to mass communication in our society we are consist bombarded with the new diet pill, the newest hottest celebrity diet has been locked away for year from the public, or a Photoshop picture of a starving model convenience to put our health at risk with one of these unsafe diets . Why don’t we take the time to research what is best for our body type, instead of becoming a new patient at the doctor’s office. Try cooking your food for the week, this will intern save you time during the week, especially if you live a busy lifestyle like most working American. Also if you are missing certain vitamins in try to take supplement to make up for those essential vitamins you might be missing. Try to think about trying a new healthier lifestyle, try to stay away from process food from your local fast food joint. For those that can’t stop all at once try to gradually stop. For example if you are a person that have little time and eat out at the close fast-food joint, try to minimize it to once a week, then once a month, and then once to year, until your body doesn’t crave those type of food.
This will help you in the long run not to have to result in going on a Fad diet. So try to make smarter healthier choices, that will improve your life style, because let’s all of these “Hollywood Diets” are trying to really help you to do this the wrong way
Think about this do the companies that display these images on ever billboard, television, internet, social media site try to help us lose weight, or are they just trying to take our money?
I feel that if we began to take ownership for our health, and not rely on the next made up diet, we will see the results that we are desperately looking for. If we start cooking our own food, drinking more water, and exercising for at least twenty five minutes a day, we will no longer be fooled by the gimmicks that are being advertised to us throughout our daily day.
