Lately I've been thinking a lot about fad diets and weight loss supplements that promise quick results. They kind of...no
REALLY drive me crazy. I hate that people are getting tricked into believing that they can obtain optimal health without proper diet and exercise. I don't think loosing weight and making healthy choices has to be frustrating, exhausting and difficult, but I know that there are no short cuts. I also know that many if not most of these diets can actually make it harder for you to maintain and loose weight in the future.
There's a website that I really like called "
The Fight for Fitness" and the author often discusses this issue. Today I found a link on his blog about the
HCG Diet and another about
detox diets. I don't think all diets are bad but I think it's important to remember that, just like with any other thing in life, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
In other news, I attended
Strollin' Moms this morning at
Fleet Feet and it was tons of fun. Join us on Thursday at 9am.

Thanks for the shout outs!
Yeah I always get so frustrated when friends of mine go on fad diets. I try not to say anything because I tend to just rant and rave and they tune me out as the "nutritional nut" :( it's furstrating.
Do you really think they are being tricked or do you think they are looking for an easier way to get results fast??
I don't think people are being tricked by others...I think they trick themselves into believing that there's an easy way.
