FAD DIETS

WHAT IS A FAD DIET?

Examples are the cotton ball diet, the raw food diet, the tapeworm diet and the Sleeping Beauty diet.

Fad diets may:
* Promise big weight loss with little intake of food
* Promote the idea of one 'magic' food
* Offer a short-term fix to helping you lose weight

They might suggest:
* Taking supplements
* Swapping meals for liquids
* Just eating one kind of food
* Eating non-food items

Watch out for celebrity-endorsed diets - those celebs may have a lot of extra support!

Watch for buzz words like:
* Kinesiology
* Face reading
* Hair mineral analysis
* Magnetic therapy
* Colonic reading
