Diet: Fast Diet Fraud

Under the theory that "seeing is believing", people continue to buy
books and pills for dramatic weight loss in 7 days, or 4 weeks, or
some other rather short interval. What should be checked is how much
weight loss remains effective in one year.

There are several reasons for this caution.

Recognize that the ability to store calories as fat is pro survival,
when the food supply various a lot throughout a year. With steady
food supplies, this is anti survival. Eat more calories than you
need, of whatever type, and you will put on fat. Even excess protein
consumption is stored as fat. Note that high meat diets are high in
saturated fat as well as protein.
