It's said time and time again: Fad dieting is a no-no. And yet someone must be buying into the fads because their still around and their makers are raking in the cash. So in case you're still not convinced, Fitsugar has put together a list of the 5 most dangerous things about fad diets:
- Lack of a balanced diet, or cutting out food groups all together, will lead to nutritional deficiencies
- The lack of variety causes boredom, and based on my experiences with friends on fad diets, extreme moodiness -- yikes!
- The emphasis is on the diet -- it doesn't account for how important exercise is'
- Severely restricting food intake can make it harder to maintain healthy eating habits afterwards.
- Many are based on unsubstantiated claims that can prove to be useless or even harmful.
