The FAD diet

There’s your afternoon giggle served

So, I know that the majority of you out there HAVE tried a fad diet. Whether it be the lemon detox diet, the Atkins diet, various diets involving shakes and diets fresh from Wisteria Lane. The bottom line is that these diets DO NOT work, for the majority of people out there. They are deceptive and lead consumers on a roller coaster ride, where the human body pays the biggest price of all. If any fad diet has worked for you in the past, as soon as you allowed yourself to eat to your hearts content again, the scales swell within days or weeks, often exceeding their original position. Why does this happen? Why don’t they work? Why isn’t the world perfect? Why isn’t there a Ferrari sitting in my garage? I will attempt to answer a few key questions here in this blog.

The Cabbage Diet
This is an Interesting one. In this plan you are allowed to eat as much as you like. As long as the primary source of nutrition in your diet originates from Cabbage. The soup which you consume consists of vegetables which are high in water content, which causes your body to burn more calories to process the food than you’re taking in. The inevitable outcome is weight loss, right? No. This diet neglects to include vital nutrients your body will need to process in order to function hormonally, physically and mentally. eliminating proteins, fats and most carbohydrates from your diets WILL have dire effects in health and nutrition. However they do allow, on day five and 6, beef. According to serving suggestion, you must “eat to your hearts content” and on day seven you must “stuff yourself” with brown rice and soup. confused?

The Chocolate diet
Im not going to spend too much time on this one. Basically, eat lots of pasta, popcorn and chocolate. GREAT, if you want to feel like absolute crap. So, we know what IS allowed, what isn’t allowed

• Nuts and seeds
• Red meat
• Sodium
• Oils
• Oily fruits (avocados, olives and coconuts)
• High sugar fruits (figs, raisins etc)
• Diary product

Funny how these foods are primarily what we are always told we have to eat

The Lemon Detox diet
This diet has recently become a wonder, since its publicity through Beyoncès film “Dream Girls”. The victim consumes lemon, water, sugar and pepper to eliminate toxic matter in the body which results in weight loss. In this case, the body will become extremely acidic, therefore catabolic, which will lead to weight gain through rising cortisol levels and a decrease in muscle mass. This diet does not have the ability to sustain optimum functionality of the body. The lack of nutrients, oil and fats, carbs and proteins will lead to greater weight gain in the long term.

The Atkins diet
The Atkins diets works by reducing total carbohydrate intake to increase the amount of “fat stores” that your body will access for energy, thus resulting in fat loss. This diet which involves increasing good fatty foods and protein foods might work for some people, however it will not work for everyone. In most cases weight gain due to carbohydrate intake should not be blamed on the carbs themselves, rather the origin, the type and how processed it is. i.e. whole meal and white breads.

Science has proven that due to differences in DNA leads to differences in the way we look, our finger prints, the way we sound, disease susceptibility and so on. So, why should there be one generic diet which all humans must abide by? Why should people from differing parts of the world eat the same foods? This follows a philosophy known as metabolic typing, which I ,myself, am a strong believer in. Metabolic typing doesn’t looks at humans as one. It looks at the diet on a individual scale. Increasing foods of various food groups whether it be carbohydrates, fats or protein to help restore balance within the body on a cellular level. It also looks at heritage as a key player in determining an acceptable diet for any individual. For example if you are from a region in far northern Europe, your ancestors have evolved living on little or no fruit. Their primary diet, to suit the cold conditions, would be fatty foods and meats and diary (most likely goats milk and/or cheese). If you wish to know more in regards to metabolic typing send me an email or ask me any questions in our next sessions together

oh, and as for that Ferrari, my birthday is March 12th
