A Sensible Weight Loss program and how to recognize or identify a “FAD” diet?

[Kevin Byrd]

We already know that obesity has become a HUGE epidemic. Over 130 Million U.S. adults are overweight or clinically obese, and 8 out of 10 people over 25 are overweight. And scientists have found that contrary to popular belief, our weight gain is due to our diet, not our level of activity.

Obesity is not just about how you look…simply being overweight is a significant risk factor for cancer, diabetes, gallbladder disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, joint-and muscle pains, arthritis, respiratory problems and psycho-emotional disorders.

So, to help you get back on track to Creating a New You, our very own Dr. Mike has put together this simple weight loss plan focusing on using Natural Visions products as the center of a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

How to recognize or identify a “FAD” diet?

1. Promises quick weight loss, often more than 3 pounds per week.
2. Promotes methods too good to be true.
3. Implies that weight can be lost without exercise or lifestyle changes.
4. Uses scare tactics to promote the diet plan.
5. Restricts or eliminates certain foods or food groups and prescribes an un-balanced, un-healthy diet plan resulting in major nutrient deficiencies such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and protective phytonutrients.
6. Rarely addresses portion size.
7. Insists on consuming specific foods or combination's of foods with no scientific validity.
8. Offers rigid menu plans that do not follow US dietary guidelines.
9. Encourages the dieter to eat as much as he/she wants of a particular food while prescribing a daily caloric intake well below average requirements for a healthy adult.

Despite the poor success rate of all these popular diets and weight loss programs, they continue to grow in popularity among overweight Americans. More than 50% of the best selling diet books have been published since 1999. Why? People try a diet, it doesn’t work or only gives them short-term results, or it’s too hard to follow, and they give up. BUT they still want to lose that weight AND they jump on the next diet hitting the market (and promoted by celebrities). Silly? Maybe, but there’s no other options!
