How To Spot A Fad

June 15, 2009

Hey everyone, ever wonder sometimes if you are participating in a FAD??? Well, here is how to spot a fad!!

  1. It will promise a large or fast weight loss (more than 1-2 pounds per week.)
  2. Does not include suggestions to consult with your doctor or a registered dietition.
  3. Encourages you to eliminate food groups (such as grains) or eat from them in a limited way.
  4. Offers rigid menu’s that don’t consider your likes, dislikes or your lifestyle.
  5. Neglects active living or lifestyle changes.
  6. Provides far fewer calories than what is needed for an energized healthy lifestyle (less than 800-1000 calories per day).
  7. Contradicts what most trusted health professionals say.
  8. Depends on special products, supplements or treatments.
  9. Has miraculous claims.
  10. Relies on testimonials.

These are good solid suggestions as to what to look for in a fad or passing diet.  I have found it is all in the BASICS: exercise, eat right, drink water, and get plenty of rest.  Those are the lifestyle changes that really work and are lasting!
