How you'll lose with these 10 fad diets
Posted on Jul 6th 2008 7:00AM by Jacki DonaldsonCadman says of Slim Fast that yes, you will lose weight, "until you grow so bored and tired of eating the exact same thing for two meals a day you quit, and realize that -- wow -- there are a lot of other foods out there that cost a lot less. Say, fruits and vegetables."
About The Writing Diet, Cadman can't figure out why all writers are not size twos because according to Julia Cameron, author of the new book The Writing Diet: Write Yourself Right-Sized, they should be. Cameron says that people overeat not out of hunger, but because of emotion. Says Cadman: "By writing daily, we tap into our emotions, and put them on the page instead of in our mouths. While I can concede that having your hands on a keyboard will prevent them from grabbing a bag of Doritos, I can't figure out how sitting on your butt is supposed to make it smaller." One of Cadman's readers disagrees, stating that the book does a pretty good job of promoting exercise too.
Cadman shares her thoughts on eight other diets here. It's good stuff and will likely convince you that fad diets are nothing more than, well, fads. Lifestyle change is what you need -- embrace a diet full of healthy food, get your rear end moving, and success will be yours.
