Why Fad Diet Plans Don't Work

Why Fad Diet Plans Don't Work
I am on a mission to educate women on why fad diet plans
don't work. I have seen too many women fall victim to the
never ending stream of fad diet plans that come on the
market and wants to change the way women look at how to
lose weight fast.

I have seen it over and over and over again; women
constantly on the lookout for the latest and greatest fad
diet plan. They almost always result in the dreaded yo-yo
weight gain cycle that actually causes women to gain more
weight back than they originally lost!

I have the following advice for women who want to know how
to lose weight fast in a safe and healthy manner.

1) One of the best ways to lose weight fast is to eat 4-6
small, nutritious meals throughout the day. Women are
advised to ignore any fad diet plan which teaches anything
different. The reason for eating 4-6 small, nutritious
meals a day is to boost your metabolism. When you eat
these small meals frequently throughout the day your body
has to digest them, which means it burns calories to do
this. This is an easy way to provide a little boost to
your metabolism and burn more calories throughout the day.
The more healthy food it consumes in small portions over
the course of the day, the more fat is burned. Fad diet
plans typically teach women to starve themselves which
causes a great deal of damage to their metabolism.

2) You need to incorporate some lean protein into these 4-6
small, nutritious meals. The importance of adding protein
is twofold. First, protein is a great nutrient that helps
provide fullness and satiety. It will prevent you from
getting hungry between meals and splurging or overeating.
Second, protein has what is called a high thermic effect of
food. This means that your body requires more calories to
digest protein than it does for carbohydrates or fat. This
is another way to speed up your metabolism and burn more
calories throughout the day.

3) Fad diet plans tend to focus on one particular food that
women enjoy eating. If a program advises you to consume any
one food - such as ice cream or grapefruits - the fad diet
plan should not be followed as it will result in eventual
failure.

Fad diet plans only offer a quick short term solution and
sometimes they don't even offer that. To get permanent fat
loss you have to make behavioral changes that you will
follow all the time. Fad diet plans won't teach you how to
keep your fat off and this is why it results in eventual
failure and the return of the weight you just lost.
