With the heavy influence of social media and the pressures to look a certain way, it can be easy to be pushed to follow trends in dieting. These are also known as “Fad Diets” and they can be harmful because they usually originate from false information. There are no foods or supplements that can instantly cause someone to lose weight. It is important to be able to distinguish between reputable information and false claims. Here are some red flag phrases to avoid in terms of diet plans.
Rapid Weight Loss
Diets that claim to have you lose weight fast are not sustainable. You are more than likely losing muscle rather than fat or dehydrating yourself which makes it very likely that you will gain the weight back quickly.
Quantities and Limitations
Stay away from diets that severely restrict eating enough macronutrients such as carbohydrates.
Rigid Menus
Limiting entire food groups can be stressful and complicated. Avoid diets that are dramatically different from your current routine or that you can’t see yourself following for the long term.
No Need to Exercise
Participating in physical activity on a regular basis is necessary for a healthy lifestyle. It is important to find a variety of activities that you enjoy doing and can be easily incorporated into your routine.
