Why diet fads will never help you lose weight.

We live in a fast paced world where we want everything instantly, unfortunately this is not attainable when it comes to weight loss. Everyday we are bombarded with adverts that promise weight loss practically over night and somehow a lot of us believe it. Whether it's a magic shake, pill, strange gym equipment, or vibrating muscle pads, the truth is none of these ''miracle" things work. 

I personally have tried most of them, even those disgusting weight loss shakes and all I have been left with is a bad taste in my mouth. Don't be fooled by the clever words or amazing before and after pictures, the diet industry just wants to make money and it seems to work because we fall for so many of their weight loss products. 

It's a tough pill to swallow but the only way to achieve sustainable weight loss, is to stick to a healthy eating plan and to exercise. There is no quick fix miracle and the sooner we realise this, the better off and the healthier we will be. Rather invest in healthy real food and while it may take longer to lose the weight, it will be easier to maintain.
