The First Step: Filtering The Noise.
With the vast amount of dieting information becoming available month by month online and in the media, discovering diets that work and choosing the best diet for your health & well-being is a seriously daunting exercise indeed.
It comes as no shock that there are such a number of diet and well-being options in the marketplace; As consumers we spend about $55 billion on fat loss, health and dieting every year.
Unfortunately for the inexperienced dieter, this is just where the confusion sets in, with marketing much of the time succeeding over real-world results. This can create a very difficult situation for dieters before they even begin.
Hopefully I can clear up the diet myths and assist you on the right track to choosing the actual diets that work.
Hype diets (commonly known as fad diets) can be very recognizable and in my professional opinion as a health and nutrition adviser should be avoided.
Diets that exhibit fad traits normally begin their rise to popularity from either self proclaimed diet "gurus" or high profile celebrities leaking a diet discovery that has seen them substantially reduce body size, become very much healthier, or easily lose massive amounts of weight in a very short space of time. You of course will have heard of these kinds of diets in droves, usually published in regular gossip magazines and often being praised on television talk shows – sometimes making broadcast news.
As a health professional who is well versed in the nutrition and diet industry, I’m going to expose to you Hollywood’s well kept dieting secret and explain why the initial step in choosing the diets that work is to avoid the hype!
In my experience as a practicing nutrition and health consultant providing services to a lot of household names, I have experienced first hand the great amount of individual and team work carried out in successful A-List health and dieting. – Not to forget the thousands of dollars stars are happy to put towards the experts to make sure it’s working right from day one.
More often than not when a high profile person is undertaking their diet in preparation for a major movie role or awards event, they’ll take the advice of professionals, are hand-held through tailored and time-proven diet programs (the diets that work), and will of course pay a lofty price for the guidance!
Enter the marketeers….
The quick fix diets that celebrities then lay claim to after achieving ‘outstanding’ results are time and time again nothing more than big dollar deals and face-to-product arrangements created by management companies and advertising giants. The next thing you know, a brand new fashion diet is given all the credit and announced as the ‘last diet you’ll ever need’.
just like many may have been a bit disbelieving that top model Rachel Hunter was actually happy to use supermarket grade shampoo every day in the 90’s, I can tell you that quick-fix and fad diets are not what are responsible for causing celebrities to look extraordinary in magazines and on the red carpet!
Now that we can recognize and steer clear of the diets that hardly ever work, how do we go about finding those that will? The next part in this article will show us the time-tested diets that work and deciding on the ones that can work for you
