Do Quick Weight Loss Diets Make Sense?

You've seen the ads for the diets from such celebrities as Suzanne Sommers, Jane Fonda, Christie Brinkley or Kathy Ireland. A good number of celebrities today are offering their own weight loss programs. What makes these programs appealing is the visual effect we experience when watching these beautiful svelt celebs and our belief that we can actually look like them. We very much want to have bodies just like them. Since these celebrities are so well liked and appreciated, so we have a tendency to accept their diet plans.

Though they get paid for looking great and you want to believe everything they tell you, have you ever considered the fact that these people probably don't have any nutritional training? I would also venture to guess that they don't have medical training either. Are their resources of information reliable and the diets nutritionally sound or are you just falling for a really good sales pitch?

The authors of the book "Get Skinny the Smart Way" say that consumers should be leery of celebrity-inspired diet books. Nutrition experts Annette B. Natow and Jo-Ann Heslin, authors of the book, point out that such books are often not based on facts but upon nutritional fiction and that, short term weight loss may be a result of the diets outlined in these books, they can be far from healthy in the long run. So, it might be a good idea if you consider diet books written by nutritional experts and passing up the celebrity books. Fad diets are not only touted by celebrities. Far from it. You've probably heard of the the so-called grapefruit diet. This one recommends eating an entire grapefruit before each meal. Another fad diet is the cabbage soup diet. In this one you consume all the cabbage soup you can handle. There are other fads that call for eating all the eggs you can...raw food only consumption...or even the practice of fasting every other day. These kinds of diets are based only on nutritional misinformation and, therein lies much danger.

Let's make a closer examination of the cabbage soup diet. There are no major health organizations that have endorsed this one and the American Heart Association does not approve of it. They actually say that it can harm you. The people who promoter this particular diet claim that you can lose as much as 15 pounds a week by following it. It's what they "don't say" that is cause for concern and that is that most of that weight is just water weight. After you start to eat normally again, you will see your weight start to rise. The cabbage soup diet side-effects include a feeling of weakness, diarrhea and stomach cramps.

Ever heard of food combining? This is another questionable diet approach. A diet such as this makes the assumption that you are overweight just because you are not eating the right combination of foods. Arbitrary is the word that comes to mind when observing the requirements of such a diet. For example, you might be told that morning time is the only time that you can eat a banana. This is pure crap. You see, your stomach is quite capable of dealing with a variety of different foods at one time. Eating food with fewer calories is the idea behind this diet, however, there are other methods you can use to accomplish the same thing.

How about getting shy of a few pounds while you sleep? The claim by some companies is that if you use their product right before bedtime, you'll surely lose weight. Any company with any degree of credibility cannot make such a claim. The truth of the matter is that it is impossible to burn a large number of calories while sawing the proverbial logs. There are other cases in which you may be asked to try to lose weight by drinking specialized milkshakes or candy bars. In reality, these products are just milk and candy with added vitamins and minerals. However, it is rare for one to feel fully satisfied after consuming these products.

Fact of the matter is that as a result of consuming these products, you may find yourself actually desiring additional calories for the remainder of the day. While you might be able to lose weight in the short-term, you'll find it quite difficult to maintain the weight loss over the long haul.

Unfortunately, there is a great deal of money to be made through the sale and marketing of dieting products. As long as this country contains such a large contingent of overweight people, all kinds of companies will try to make a profit off of our overeating habits. You must be savvy enough to recognize a diet fad when you see it. It's important that you resolve for a different approach to losing weight. The fact is that there are really no short-cuts to weight loss. Any successful diet program takes time, patience, and determination, along with a willingness to change your eating patterns.

Fast Weight Loss Techniques Are Not Always Effective

Let's get something straight so you'll know why we're here in the first place. The sad truth is that fast weight loss techniques, that you read about and hear about all the time, are not always effective. That's right. Many of them do not provide the results that they promise. Fast weight loss is, to be fair, a relative term. "Relative to what?", you ask. Well, relative to what you consider "fast." Is your weight reduction goal one week or one month? Is it 10 pounds or 100 or more pounds?

You see, unfortunately, most people don't want to hear the truth and they'll fall for an advertisement claiming that they can lose 10 pounds a week when, in reality, that kind of weight loss can be very dangerous and unhealthy. Most people don't seem to want to know the truth about fast weight loss and they'd rather go on believing that there is a way to lose weight ridiculously fast enough that they'll be able to shed those 30 pounds in two weeks. Then, unfortunately, they are very disappointed and frustrated when the truth sets in and the highly marketed diet plan that they bought into turns out to be an exaggeration.

We Know What You're Going Through

That's why we, at Repair My Weight loss, are here. We want you to know the truth despite what others are trying to get you to believe. We're certainly not saying that diets don't work. We know that diets work but we also know that they're never a walk in the park. Diets take hard and often frustrating work. Most people give up on a diet just as the diet is about to show results. We know because the staff at Repair My Weight Loss has experienced most of those diets right along with you. We've suffered through the seemingly starvation type diets, the low carb diets, the low fat diets...just about every one of them. We understand what you are going through and we want to help you.

Fast weight loss diets are, for the most part, unreal. There are a few fast weight loss diets that actually work initially but after you've lost the first few pounds rather rapidly, they stall out. There's a reason for that.

Other proclaimed fast weight reduction diets don't even come close to their claims. Then there are those that are highly effective if you can stand to stay on them for any amount of time. No matter which diet you use, believe in or want to try, we've found that one thing always seems to make the initial phase of any diet work much more effectively.

Cleansing

The cleansing of the colon by certain methods seems to allow the body to move into diets a bit more easily. The initial shock of any type of diet to the body is tolerated more readily if the colon is cleansed appropriately first. Does this mean you have to experience some form of diarrhea for a week or something nasty like that? No, not at all. Some forms of colon cleansing don't have much to do with bowel movements but rather what you put into the body over a certain period of time.

We don't condone or sponsor ANY specific colon cleansing product here at RMWL, but we do promote, strongly, the use of some type of colon cleanser either with or without a diet. Why? Because your health starts in your colon and that's the orgination of most diseases. This is a private thing. No one has to know that you practice colon cleansing. Just don't tell them but, for your own sake, DO practice it. Here is a great site for learning more about colon cleansing.

We have lots of information for you to go through at this website and we'll be adding new information fairly frequently. A lot of our pages have more than one subject in them. Read the entire page before moving on or you might miss some important information. Our goal is to help you understand what's out there and how it works before you decide whether or not to use a specific kind of diet. Regardless of which diet plan you choose, you should be able to find good information about it before taking the plunge. Stick with us and see if maybe we can help you get through this difficult time. You'll thank us for it in the long run.
