Super expensive bars, shakes and meal plans that leave you feeling HANGRY.

How many of you have lost weight on a fad diet, only to gain the weight (and more) back? You aren’t alone.

Fad diets are diets that are popular for a short period of time, but they are not based on sound scientific evidence. They often promise quick and easy weight loss, but they are not sustainable in the long term. Fad diets can be harmful to your health because they can lead to nutrient deficiencies, disordered eating habits, and even weight gain.

Here are some of the reasons why fad diets don't work:

  • They are restrictive and difficult to follow. Fad diets often restrict certain food groups or require you to follow a strict meal plan. This can be difficult to stick to in the long term, and it can lead to cravings and binge eating.

  • They are not sustainable. Fad diets are not designed to be followed for a long period of time. Once you stop following the diet, you are likely to regain the weight you lost.

  • They can be harmful to your health. Fad diets can lead to nutrient deficiencies, disordered eating habits, and even weight gain.

If you are looking to lose weight, it is important to focus on healthy eating and lifestyle changes that work for you. These changes are more likely to be sustainable in the long term and they will help you to reach your weight loss goals.

Here are some tips for healthy weight loss:

  • Eat a balanced diet that prioritizes protein, and includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

  • Choose lean protein sources and healthy fats.

  • Limit your intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats. In other words, if it’s packaged, bagged, or boxed, try to limit it.

  • Get regular exercise.

  • Make gradual changes to your diet and lifestyle that you can stick to in the long term.
