It is important to know that popular or "fad diets" aren't usually the best or healthiest ways to loose weight and keep it off. Diets that promise quick weight loss by drastically changing or limiting foods are difficult to follow, can sometimes lead to nutrient deficiencies, and are often unsuccessful. It is recommended to loose 0.5 to 2 pounds per week through healthy food choices, portion control, and adding more physical activity into your life. If these suggestions become part of your everyday routine, they can lead to a decreased risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure later in life!
