Sorry but not all diets live up to their hype. For example, one diet claimed that if you ate nothing but bananas you`d loose weight( the proof being that you never saw overweight monkey). it won`t work.(It will also make you very sick of bananas).
Others are good for short-term weight loss, but since they don`t burn fat, will only lead to loss water. Examples are so called cleansing diets or liquid diets. While they`re great for removing the toxins, you really can`t sustain it for more than a week without feeling sock or lightheaded.
What can you do:
* Don`t believe every diet you hear.
Ask how it`s supposed to help you loose weight and research to see its claims are actually scientifically supported.
* Take celebrity endorsements with a grain of salt.
Celebrities have personal trainers and plastic surgeons. If they`re thin, its not just because of that diet- hey you`d loose weight too if you had a fully equipped gym in your bedroom.
* Check if the diet meets the daily nutritional requirements.
While all diets require a certain control of calories if you aren`t getting enough food you will feel too weak to think or function properly. So you`ll either get sick or binge. But here`s the deal: Mother Natures programmed your body to store food in "lean times" Your poor eating habits have triggered this survival instinct,so anything you do eat goes straight to your hips.
* Be aware of any diet that demands that you buy a product.
They may work but it`s a huge financial investment and not easy to sustain. You`re better off with something that involves a lifestyle change. You can use a drink or a pill you can try a power bar or a miraculous patch but it`s just one of many activities. Ask your self: "Will i loose weight without this product? Can i replace it with something else if i see fit?" If the answer is a resounding no- then read the fine print. It may say, in so many words."You`ll gain everything back the moment you stop"
