Fads Diets Continue!

There are many diets that you can follow i e:

Food combining diet

The zone diet

Blood group diet

Meal replacement

Diet clubs i.e weight watches

Very low-calorie diets

WHY DIETS DONT WORK:

All the above diets fail to consider one important factor: why people have put weight on in the first place. Most diets treat the effects of poor lifestyles and not the cause. Being " on a diet" suggest that t some point you are going to come off it.

Evaluating Diets

When evaluating diets consider the following:

Do they take into consideration individual lifestyles?
Do they set long term plans for both diet and activity?
Do they include exercise?
Do they provide enough energy to meet minimum requirements?
Do they include all food groups?

If you can answer no to any of the above points, reject it as a balanced eating plan

Have you been on any diets? (not mentioned on here) tell us about it.
