Website lists top 25 worst fad diets
Last night, my fiance and I sat down and watched an episode of The Biggest Loser. I tell you, what a great show that is. The amount of weight the contestants have lost so far has been nothing short of astonishing. The program truly is a testament to how effective exercise and proper diet can be in helping to shape a healthier body.
What's equally refreshing about the show is that it does not pull any punches. It makes it quite clear; if you want to get into better shape, you have to work HARD. At no point did I see any of the trainers pushing any quick-fix diet solutions or pills on the contestants. Do you know why? Because 99.9 percent of those quick-fix diets are completely ineffective, that's why.
A great article was brought to my attention by a reader, highlighting The 25 Most Ridiculous (and Ineffective) Popular Diets. Click HERE to read the full article, which was published this past Tuesday on RNCentral.com. Or, just take a quick look below at how they ranked each diet.
1. The Atkins Diet
2. The Subway Diet
3. Cabbage Soup Diet
4. The Tapeworm Diet
5. The Cereal Diet
6. The Low-Fat Diet
7. Hallelujah Diet
8. South Beach Diet
As 2007 gives way to 2008, many people are going to resolve to finally lose weight, and, tired of unsuccessful diets, many of them will sign up for one of the popular dieting plans out there. But diets are expensive. Want to know just how expensive?
It seems like -- in some celebrity circles, at least -- it's hip to be losing weight and endorsing the program that's helping you do it. Even PEOPLE magazine has started a weekly weight loss feature with the celebrity du jour who has 10 or 20 or even 70 pounds to lose. I think it's great to see people take charge of their health, even if they look for a little publicity in the process.
