Fad diets have been around for decades. In an effort to lose weight for a special event or in the hopes that the weight loss would last a lifetime, people have turned to fad diets as a way to trim their waistlines. The truth is that these diets may work in the short-term, but they’re nearly impossible to maintain for life and are not always healthy. Plus, most people will re-gain the weight that they lost (and then some) once they get off the diet. Here are some clues to help you identify a fad diet: The diet excludes certain food groups or nutrients like carbohydrates. The diet promises rapid weight loss. The diet instructs you to eliminate certain foods and then re-introduce them into your diet at a certain point. The diet is a liquid diet which eliminates solid food completely. Success on the diet is dependent upon buying the company’s foods or devices. The diet does not encourage life-long lifestyle changes. Some well-known and lesser-known fad diets: Atkins, Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, the Blood Type Diet, the Zone, Sugar Busters, the Caveman Diet, the Baby Food Diet, the Cabbage Soup Diet, the Grapefruit Diet, the South Beach Diet, Body for Life, Slim-Fast, the Cookie Diet, etc. Many fad diets are deficient in important nutrients or provide too much of other nutrients like cholesterol and fat in the Atkins diet. Making healthy lifestyle changes like getting regular exercise and eating a healthy, balanced diet that includes all the food groups is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. .

Functional Foods in Health and Disease 2017; 7(9); 702-715. https://doi.org/10.31989/ffhd.v7i9.346 ABSTRACT Fad diets can be defined as any diet making claims that are unrealistic and not supported by evidence-based data. Having been developed since the early 19th century, fad diets promise drastic weight loss and/or other unsubstantiated health claims while often omitting entire food groups. Their popularity with the public makes them an important topic for nutritionists and clinicians, especially in the framework of the obesity epidemic. Additionally, it is conceivable that components of fad diets can indeed facilitate weight loss, even if the diet overall is without merit. The grapefruit diet, the cabbage soup diet, and the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) diet are among the most popular fad diets and are reviewed within this study not only in terms of the diet plan itself, but also in terms of possible and known weight loss and health benefits provided by the foods on which the diets are based.
