Shedding a few pounds is a worthwhile goal. However, you want those pounds to stay off! Therefore, you need to select the right diet to ensure that those pounds you lose stay off and you maintain a healthy weight. Many fads out there are a quick fix. Instead of helping you, they often hurt you and you might end up worse off. Here are a few urban legends to avoid.
The Juice Diet
Have you heard of the juice diet? Dieters are told to only drink a special mixture for several days. It’s a cleanse and a diet in one. And many people do lose weight. However, the second they start eating, the pounds go right back on. This is not a smart way to diet. You want the days you put into dieting to be effective.
The Cabbage Soup Diet
Another popular diet that is an urban legend is the cabbage soup diet. It is a week long diet that guarantees you will shed pounds in a few days. Many people can’t last through the week because they can’t stand the taste of the soup – especially for breakfast. And they end up binging by the end.
Most urban legend diets are similar. They promise a quick fix. Dieting takes work and time.
