Hey everyone welcome to this week votes live well
our topic for this week is fad diets my name is Whitney
events and I'm healthy Knox and we are ATSU
senior and major nutrition
and nice 20 minutes we'll be talking about what a fad diet
how to identify and I and how to develop a healthy way of us have it as opposed
to that day
the time bad I can bring many confusing images to mind
it's hard to sort through all these different programs and diets to find out
what's fact and what's fiction
they all promise mesmerizing results, but do they really work
so according to a recent survey forty four percent
American women and 29 percent American men are currently on a diet
and however ninety-five percent
diets fail and most individuals will regain their lost way
and one to five years
so that the PC industry light commercial weight-loss programs
way I stride manufactures and bariatric surgery centers
well top out at 315 billion dollars this year
which is nearly 3 percent of the overall economy
so what exactly is a fad diets one definition
suggests it is reducing diet that enjoys temporary popularity
looking deeper the American Academy of Family Physicians
defines fad diets as weight loss I will splatter a the promises dramatic results
does not offer long-term success and is often
not very healthy for you here are some ways to identify fad diets.
First they promise dramatic and rapid weight loss
a greater than 2 pounds per week to advertise weight loss without the need
for physical activity
they limit food selections to small amount of food group
or they promote only eating specific food combinations
they promote diets that are nutritionally unbalanced
or low in calories they use liquid formulas instead of solid foods
and they may also require the customers to purchase special foods, patches
expensive supplements, creams or other products
they also there fail to encourage per minute let realistic lifestyle changes
fad diets often make outlandish and unscientific clients that do not support
claims that is clinically tested or scientifically proven
very loud testimonials from celebrities and other famous people
they often misrepresent their salespeople
as counselors who are educated to give you
got its in a church in our general health they often want to collect large
sums are many up friends
I want you to sign long extensive contacts to commit to their program
they often promote I'm proven experience way of
aids anything from starts walkers to die red
diuretics sana belts body wraps
passive exercised electric muscle stimulation devices
amino acid supplements and other unique
ingredients, they often fail to provide for actual weight maintenance
after the program ends so the HCG diet
HCG diet is an example as a currently popular fad diet which consists of a
daily injections or drops
the Harmony HTD or human chorionic gonadotropin
which is the hormone found in the urine of pregnant women
so with these injections are jobs there's also a restriction as 500
calories per day
which is made up of mostly organic or unprocessed foods
so in theory the hormone HCG will suppress hunger and trigger your body
issues
a fat for fuel self course approach to this tie is fast weight loss
however the client's are is that it it is a low calorie diet
which is it increases your risk of becoming kiddo janik
they're also injections are job staley
and there's like a evidence or clinical trials that have failed to support the
role
a CD and the weight loss another too good to be true product on the market
these days is Sensa,
we've all seen the commercials you just strangle the crystals on
any food from healthy broccoli to Triple Chocolate Chunk
asking and it just melts the fat away
or so they claim since the claims and a five year since
and flavor actually is meant to work using your sense of smell to trick your
brain into thinking that your belly is full
so that you don't as much, so what is a pro for sensor
potentially it suppresses your appetite
there is a lack of long-term studies that provide I'm or prove maintain
weight loss
the studies that were conducted were only six month trial so there's nothin
further than that so there's no long-term evidence on it
there's also like a permanent showing that in fact works
its compressive chemicals are not mall so the extent
try basic calcium phosphate in silicon dioxide
that sounds tasty on food so
as one other popular diets out now Weight Watchers there's one other health
yes and smartest ways to lose weight
and their pitch sums up their views on losing weight in a healthy way
so Weight Watchers we know that food is only one part of the way of the equation
activity, healthy habits and support on was smart food choices can lead to true
long-term success
however they have currently revised their point system to where the
dieters are encouraged to maximize their point plus allowance by choosing more
power foods
like whole grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy products,
with on course and let them out so through an on starchy vegetables
however before they revise their point system
the clients were given as a set number of points each day
and they could use their points on anything now healthier foods are low in
points
so this encourages them to eat more the healthy fits
suppresses this diet are that they encourage physical activity along with
making healthier food choices
they also encourage lifestyle changes and they provide support to the
customers
and like I said before they encourage smart food choices
like increase fruit and vegetable intake lean meats well fat dairy products and
increase fiber intake
what's the HAP if the spine diets don't work why do people talk to them
and shot them and Harlem somewhere people are willing to try anything that
promises
to help them lose weight no matter how crazy it is
if it promises quick and easy weight loss almost anyone's game
if it works for a short period time that often catches people's eyes
if they want to go on spring break or they have a wedding
or her name into things like that came in at you know if it's gonna
melt the pounds off quickly so they get some in shape for that and then they
wanna do it
and it just comes down to people on the most dramatic results with minimal
effort this is America we was the easy button
style in order to keep from gaining weight you need to get back to the
basics
and this is the calorie and carry out balance
so the calories you eat your food and beverages need to equal the calories
ease daily like body functions daily activities
and physical activity so preventing weight gain in attacking a healthy
lifestyle can improve your health even if you don't lose weight
so if the same amount of calories an or
energy and equal the amount of energy out or calories burned
your way all say the same but if there's if there's more
and then out there'll be awake in overtime and if there's more out then
and there will be weight loss over time
so basically it's about balancing the energy consumed with the energy to burn
so as it prepared to start a healthy lifestyle their common myth
that we need to do back some is number one
never have seconds, deny your cravings they're all in your head,
don't you between males inning by breakfast makes you hungry all day
and like I said these are myths anything can be perfectly healthy
and if as long as you fit into a balanced diet, of course you don't wanna
snack cheeseburgers but rather snack
on maybe some for in vegetables you can have seconds you just have to keep into
perspective if it you've had all day
some more mess are at five to lose weight become a vegetarian
6 fasting for a few days shops pounds quickly and change first to make
7 you can eat anything you want as long as it's fat-free
welfare's if anyone can lose weight not just vegetarians
and be sure to look at the fat-free
and labels on the back because fat free products most likely will have increased
sugar or increased sodium and
so here's some recommendations for healthy weight loss
don't lose more than 1-2 pounds per week, rapid weight loss can cause serious
health problems,
anything from dizziness and headaches and nausea
all I did that so it can be very serious
it's important to consult a physician before you start any weight loss program
or physical activity program to make sure that everything takes out and that
you're okay to do this
so here's some more way weight loss tips first is to emphasize nutrient-dense
foods
and the definition I'm nutrient density as a measure the amount of nutrients
if it contains in comparison to the number of calories
so if it is more nutrient-dense will evolve new Tran says hi
in a relationship to the number of calories it contains
so some examples a nutrient-dense foods are kale spinach
Brussels sprouts, broccoli various up and whole grain breads and cereals
second you want to eat small portions of food each male
Nexus ish a rush on male with a friend or take um half the leftovers for later
also make against grains vegetables and fruits n chill to your diet plan
also followed the dietary guidelines and my plate
so couple more tips for wright also include eat slowly,
it takes about 20 minutes for your brains know that you're so make a small
so if you really put my food away then you can easily over eat without knowing
that you're full
you know when that your high fat foods obviously
limit concentrated suites an alcoholic beverages
you want to drink plenty water at least eight glasses a day
you ever disobey and physical activity regularly
the recommendation is 30 minutes a day five days a week
and that's just the kinda maintain where you at we're at now
so if you wanna lose more weight than maybe one increase your physical
activity
or consume less calories you really
are limits liquid calories choose whole fruit rather than the juices
and avoid the sugary soft drinks and alcohol
things like fruit juices and sodas and alcoholic beverages
have tie-ins powers and sugars and carbs
and they often just empty calories there's Allah nutrients to go along with
that
as an example a lot fear like Bud Light and Michelob Ultra
prick and it's a hundred calories so if you have an you know 67 a
that's a hundred calories that you don't necessarily need
and one can of Coke has a 140 calories
and then heavy beers and by Budweiser they have
around 200 calories you can so more you have the more calories you're acting at
