Losing weight isn't easy and requires a lot of determination and planning. Fad diets may seem like a quick fix, and although you may lose weight, it's unlikely you'll keep it off long-term.
Weight loss is most effective when you adopt long-term lifestyle habits, including a healthy diet and regular physical activity, on most days of the week. At Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss in Tallahassee, Florida, we focus on long-term weight management instead of fad diets.
We provide support and various treatments, including meal plans, fitness plans, and weight loss injections, to help you achieve a healthy and stunning body.
Fad diets are those that promise quick results by eliminating essential components of a balanced diet. These diets come on strong but usually fade out quickly when people realize they can't sustain them long-term, which generally leads to weight gain.
People often flock towards a fad diet when they've struggled to lose weight with traditional dieting and exercise. However, fad diets aren't a permanent option for weight loss because they cause yo-yo weight loss and gain.
There are many fad diets out there, and they each offer something to cut weight quickly. A few of the most popular fad diets include the following:
The biggest issue with fad diets is that they promise weight loss, but cut out essential parts of the diet. Practicing fad diets for long periods can lead to nutrient deficiencies and other issues with your health.
Fad diets don't work for many reasons, which is why we don't love them. They promote rapid weight loss, but without disclosing the associated health risks.
One reason we don't like fad diets is that they provide unrealistic expectations and promises of fast weight loss – but it's unsustainable. These diets are very restrictive, which may lead to weight loss ups and downs and, ultimately, disappointment.
Fad diets often eliminate specific foods or entire categories of foods, which is detrimental to overall health and wellness. These diets can lead to health risks, especially dehydration and nutrient deficiencies.
There's also little scientific evidence that these diets work for sustainable weight loss. While they offer a quick fix, they're not capable of providing permanent weight management.
Instead of going on another fad diet, consult our team to discuss healthier and more effective options. We offer a range of treatments and support to help you lose weight at a healthy rate.
Calorie restriction is the best way to lose weight. We determine how many calories your body needs and how much you burn per day to create a calorie deficit through your diet. Burning more calories than you consume leads to weight loss.
We offer meal plans to help you achieve a calorie deficit while ensuring you get the proper nutrition. Fitness plans offer a range of exercises and activities to help you get moving and boost your calorie burn.
Other options we offer include appetite suppressants, weight loss injections, and fat-burning shots for optimal results. These are supplements to a healthy diet and regular exercise.
