Deep dives

The Ineffectiveness of Fad Diets

Fad diets often promise quick results but are usually unsustainable and lead to failure within a short timeframe. A staggering statistic reveals that over 80% of individuals who start a diet on January 1st abandon it by February. People frequently return to the same ineffective diets multiple times, driven by the false belief that they are the problem rather than the diet. The emphasis instead should be on creating achievable and emotionally resonant goals that focus on positive dietary additions rather than restrictive cuts.
