25 January 2019, Cagayan de Oro City - To achieve and maintain your weight loss goal, it is important to find a healthy way of eating that you enjoy and can follow for life. Eating less of what you consumed was never an option in losing weight. Instead, planning out the best method to grasp rather than cutting out is considered superior strategy to make.
Fad diet, also called as a crash diet or diet sculpt, is any dietary regimen or practice promoted for weight loss and improvement of health that does not form part of standard dietetic-led weight management advice (Hankey, 2018). Theoretically said to be the fastest solution in losing weight drastically in a very short period of time, fad diets comprise of meals very restricted in providing energy for body functioning. This practice was introduced almost 200 years ago, pioneered and made popular by Lord Byron with his Vinegar and Water Diet. In the following years, similar fad diets surfaced and were then being used. Some of the popular fad diets are the Very Low Energy Diet (VLED), ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, water fasting and juice fasting.
