Fads Don't Work
Maybe you've heard about the latest diet fad. You know, the one that tells you to eat only certain types of foods. Or the one that says you'll lose 30 pounds in 30 days. If these diets can do what they claim, then why are over half of the people in the U.S. still overweight? The fact is, gimmicks and fad diets just don't work in the long run. Some put your body and health at serious risk. Some help you lose weight, but they don't give you the skills you need to
keep from gaining the weight back. The key to losing weight: Eat a variety of healthy foods and get regular exercise. Then keep up those habits to keep the weight off.
