Ignore Fad Or Crash Diets
In 2007, UCLA researchers reported that diets don’t work for two-thirds of people. However, their wording wasn’t quite right. The researchers focused on fad diets, not balanced, long-term eating habits. Edye Wagner, a nutrition expert at Northwestern Medicine, says that crash diets are not sustainable long-term.
How can you identify a fad diet? The diet may rely heavily on one ingredient (grapefruit, apple cider vinegar, etc.). Others may require juicing or fasting for a limited time. Crash diets are often short, ranging from a couple of days to weeks. The healthiest diets in the world are sustainable and balanced.
