‘Fad’ means a craze, a trend, a whim. That’s exactly what fad diets are: Crazy diets. Started by unscrupulous nutritionists & dietitians who just want to cash in on the weight loss band wagon.
Fad diets are mostly imbalanced in their nutritional approach. They may lack required energy, protein and vital vitamins and minerals that are essential for health, and run a high risk of leading to nutritional deficiencies. They are not only unhealthy, but also counter-productive to our final goal: an ideal body.
It may come as a surprise to many but sheer weight loss is not going to give any fat person the body he or she dreams about. Its only when the weight loss is selectively only in terms of body fat that the person will be happy with his or her body. Fat loss is going to give you the athletic toned body you want…NOT INDISCRIMINATE WEIGHT LOSS that does not distinguish between fat loss & muscle loss.
