Quick-Weight-Loss Or Fad Diets

 

The Cabbage Soup Diet is said to undermine the health, cause physical discomfort in the abdominal regions such as gas and leads to a disappointment when using this diet.

Many quick weight loss diets claim to be endorsed or authorized by the AHA yet this is not true. The AHA recommends diets that are flexible in the food selection and stresses the importance of nutrient rich diets with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients essential to a healthy diet.

Many of the popular diets do not encourage physical activity or exercise. The AHA recommends walking 30 minutes at least three times a week for the physical activity that will promote weight loss. The lack of physical activity is the leading cause of heart disease and stroke. 

Since the quick weight loss diets often change the eating habits of the person during the time of dieting but fail to teach how to create healthy eating habits that lead to prolonged weight management. The fact many lack this information leads the dieter to return to the old eating habits that caused the original weight gain and they will eventually gain back lost weight.

Many of the quick weight loss diets are based on myths about dieting instead of the current facts. AHA does not substantiate the concepts of fat-burning foods and food combining. They consider these concepts myths and suggest they be avoided when possible.

The only true weight loss diet includes a proper diet rich in grains, fruits, vegetables, fiber, low –fat, and dairy products that is balanced and nutritional as well as physical activity. Many quick weight loss diets lack these elements so the AHA does not recommend using these diets.

The best way to lose weight is with a healthy diet that is balanced as well as adding physical activity as a regimen that not only provides a weight loss for the individuals but also increases their body's level of health. The AHA has guidelines available on their website that list the right diets and physical activities to implement to lose weight effectively with lasting results.
