| Miracle foods and fad diets |
Every now and then a miracle food or fad diet is announced that will help you lose weight
effortlessly. They do not work.
Some are based on scientific evidence that has been misreported, distorted or used out of
context. Others are simply silly and potentially dangerous.
Weight Concern will not give examples of this type of diet, because they do not need any more
publicity.
There is only one way to safely lose weight. Eat healthy food and consume fewer calories
than you are using in exercise. Other sections of this website give more detailed information
on how to do this, and when you hear of the 'latest' diet revolution, remember: if it sounds
too good to be true, it probably isn't good and isn't true.
