Diets that do not work

The following diets not only don’t work but they actually are bad for you.
  • Eating low crabs: too strict, not suitable, makes you feel miserable. The body does not work properly without crabs, headaches, irritability and loss of sleep.
  • Low fat diets: will make you gain more weight
  • Starvation diets: VERY VERY BAD, but you already know that.
  • Pre-package diets: the food is actually worst than the one you can make from home. And it is very expensive, up to $500 per month.
  • Hollywood diets: actors, actresses how they do it? No idea, apparently we are not living in the same world.

Why most diets fail?


They are too strict, so people tend to put dieting off, wait for next week or tomorrow to start.
They are based on greatly reducing the calories intake. The result is that their metabolism slow down and the body burn less fat. It is a defensive mechanism, the body thinks you are starving it. When you restart eating normally, your metabolism is still slow and you gain more fat.
Any diet which leads you to not eating a certain food group will not resolve the problem in a long term. You should choose a diet that lets you eat reasonable portions of food and just changes your habits of when and what you should eat.
