Why fad diets work

Okay you can go on a low carb high carb high protein low protein low fat high fat Atkins South Beach gluten free vegetarian vegan or any other of a million different extreme diets.

The truth of it is every single one of those diets will result in weight loss.

That's right they all work.

The problem is they only work in the short term.
I'm not talking about anecdotal all I went on Atkins I lost 60 pounds now I've kept it off for 5 years. That's not the majority of people

The issue the issue is that bad diets work on a temporary basis because after the fat diet is over you resume your old eating habits.
Fad diets work temporarily.

You must eat everyday of your life for the rest of your life.
Did you get that.
You must eat every single day for the rest of your life.
You must eat for every single day of your life.
That's correct every single day so you're fat diet that help you lose weight today or this month or this year if its not sustainable it's not going to last unless you permanently change your eating habits you will not lose weight in the long term if I lose 60 pounds this year and I gain it back over the course of two years or 3 years that's not permit weight loss that was temporary.
Average adult lives to be 85 years old wouldn't it be better to have long-term weight loss that's gonna last for more than a couple of those years.

So if you're going on the cabbage soup diet or the grapefruit diet.

You're going to lose weight. You're also going to lose muscle mass energy and two to three months of time that you could have spent learning how to eat properly.

Portion distortion is not a joke what they call a kids meal at any restaurant is actually an adult serving size. And most adult serving sizes are actually two to three serving sizes. With the exception of vegetables.

For some reason most restaurants under-serve vegetables and way extremely over serve protein and carbs. We often follow that same pattern at home a large piece of meat potatoes or rice or pasta and then a very small serving of vegetables.

The reality of it is if you look at a normal size plate
Not a. Big 12inch dinner platter.

But a normal 10inch dinner plate.
First of all you should be able to see the entire rim of the plate.....
Then in the center,2/3 of that plate should be fruit and vegetables 1/5 of it should be carbohydrates 1/5 of it should be protein.

That's really the lean diet secret. And that's a way of eating it's not just a temporary sad it's not just for this month or for 60 days or for 90 days or a year that's what will work for you forever.
