Many who gain weight feel phisically and emotioanlly desprate to lose weight. They do many unhealthy things, when they feel like there is no way out. people turn to fad and quick fix diets to make them self feel better and lose weight.
Fad and quick fix diet is a term used to describe a whole array of short term,diet solutions used to temporarily lose weight through unsafe and unhealthy methods.
There is a new gimmick in the market every other day falling in this category. Fat diets are dangerous and they don't work.
For a short period of time (14 to 30 days), your diet is restricted to a select collection of bad-tasting health foods or recipes. Also, you're told to minimize your eating in this period. The diets vary a lot but generally fats are completely avoided in these diets.
As a reaction of this 'starvation diet', initially your body cells lose water and there is a rapid apparent loss of weight (due to water loss).
After the initial water loss period, as you continue to starve, your body starts to burn your muscle mass in order to keep up with the energy needs. It will still not start burning fats which is the basic reason behind obesity. And as you avoid fats in your diet in this period, your body will try to preserve every pound of fat that it has in its store.
If the dieter goes on with the fad diet for about 2 weeks to 1 month, eventually most of the muscle mass is burnt and then the body starts burning the stored fats having no other alternative to stay alive. But the dieter starts getting weaker, gets lazy and is not able to perform or live well in this initial stage of fat loss because it requires a lot more effort and time for the body to produce energy from fat rather than from muscle.
And finally something breaks and generally it's the diet plan (and thankfully enough because otherwise the dieter will be starved to death losing fat). At this stage, the dieter is back to his normal eating but as that happens, initially the body is perplexed. It thinks some kind of joke is being played upon it. First, a food supply that wouldn't keep a mouse going.. and now.. you're feeding like an elephant.
So the body takes some time before it's back to re-structuring your muscle and during this time, it stores most of the food intake as excess fats.
So at the end of it all, the dieter is back to his initial weight gaining back all the weight he lost and quite often, little bit more.
As described above, one cannot lose weight permanently with fad diets without starving himself to death. So fat diet approach is flawed at the basic level. It can never successfully make you slim.
The only approach that works in order to get rid of the obesity problem permanently is the simple lifestyle shift approach to weight loss which is what Ultimate Results Weight Loss Program is all about.
As the 'diabesity' epidemic rages on, 95% of all diets fail, and two thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese. All kinds of reasons have been cited for the rise of obesity, yet there is a critical component of the weight management equation that has not received much attention: resting metabolic rate or "RMR."
Many dieters assume that they have slow metabolisms and must starve themselves to lose any weight at all. In fact, the opposite is true in many cases: Dieters can have fairly hefty caloric needs, and are undercutting themselves by more than 500 calories per day which will cause undue hunger and drastically decrease diet adherence.
In an ongoing study of obese New Yorkers, resting metabolic rates among women of equal ages and body mass indexes varied by as much as 700 calories a day, and men by as much as 1000 calories a day.This suggests very strongly that "one diet does not fit all." Moreover, attempts to predict a patient's metabolic rate with the Harris-Benedict equation, among others, often yields inaccurate results.
Resting metabolic rate measurement is easier than ever, as handheld devices have replaced the cumbersome "metabolic carts" of exercise physiology labs.Indirect calorimeters measure oxygen consumption (VO2) to determine RMR by means of a 5- to 10-minute breath test. The cost to consumer is perhaps $99 a test, and since RMR represents about 75% to 80% of daily caloric needs, it is fairly easy to calculate an appropriate calorie target for weight loss, taking into account general activity levels.
I think that RMR should be a part of regular screening performed by primary care physicians and healthcare professionals involved in assisting patients with weight loss. Dieting without an individualized caloric goal is like driving a car without a steering wheel. Maybe this is part of the reason why America has so many "nutritional casualties?"
That's my opinion and I'd like to hear yours. I'm Dr. Val Jones, Editor of MedGenMed's eSection on Clinical Nutrition & Obesity.
Weight Loss Facts:
Low Fat Foods DON'T WORK.
You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.
Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK.
You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.

Diet Trends:What the Research Shows
In one study, 160 overweight and obese adults followed either Atkins, Zone, Weight Watchers (calorie restriction) or Ornish diet for one year.
This study confirmed previous studies that compared popular diets and found that the average weight loss in one year is only around 10 pounds!
Dropout rates for dieting are very high and range from 35-47%
Most diets are calorie-restricted and induce muscle rather than fat loss
Weight loss is mostly muscle (and water)
Weight is gained back as fat slowing down your metabolism
