The promises sound too good to be true<\/strong><\/li>\n
All sorts of fad and quick fix diets have come and gone, from the baby food diet (yup, only eating jars of baby food) to color diets (only eating foods of a certain color, or rotating colors from day to day) and while many of these tactics will result in weight loss, it’s only because they limit food intake, not because they are the “right†ways to eat. The truth is, if you’ve been eating enough to support 150 pounds of body weight, and you start eating enough to only support 120 pounds, you’ll lose weight, but you may also worsen your health. While nutrition is a relatively young science, we do know a great deal about how to construct an eating plan that will support a person’s ideal body weight and simultaneously optimize health, and it’s far, far more complicated than calories in, calories out. Throughout my career, I’ve seen poorly designed diets result in: a thinner but flabbier frame, due to the loss of muscle; a weakened immune system; dull, dry hair and skin; mental and physical fatigue; an increased injury risk; and nutrient deficiencies. Bottom line: weight loss alone is only one piece of the puzzle. <\/p>\n
Possessing tapeworms is illegal in the US, yet I regularly read articles supporting bringing back the ingestion of tapeworms<\/a> as a means of losing weight, and even enhancing health. While studies on helminthic therapy<\/a>, the treatment of autoimmune diseases using parasitic worms, have been published by scientists at institutions like University of Iowa, the science is emerging, and the treatment is highly medically supervised. In the US, many people who unintentionally become infected with tapeworms die every year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
In the 70s, Elvis supposedly tried the "sleeping beauty diet," which meant he was heavily sedated for several days, hoping to wake up thinner. Enough said!<\/p>\n\n
