Have we learned nothing from the last 100 years of dieting? Come on people, common sense should tell you fad diets do not work! And when did we lose our last shred of sanity that healthy looking people are suddenly fat? Is this what we are all aspiring to?
I can't tell you how many diets I tried when I was younger, it started in my pre-teens when one of my friends called me chubby. Maybe I was, I don't know, but I started dieting around that time. I took diet pills, yuck, I starved myself, I exercised a lot (never took laxatives though, that is so not what they are intended for). Some diets worked, but inevitably the weight ALWAYS came back, and then some.
As an adult, I decided to forget all this rubbish and just change the way I eat. I no longer eat fried foods, or drink fizzy drinks. I walk lots now, but no power workouts or protein shakes. It's not fast, but a few changes have meant I don't drool when walking by patisseries! No need to starve yourself, just eat a healthy and balanced diet and treat yourself to something naughty occasionally. It's so simple really, all these fad diets are just ways to get your money and make you feel horrible about yourself in the process. If everyone would just think about being fit and healthy and not worry so much about looking like a skeleton with skin, maybe they would be happier. Just a thought.
