Good Food (6)

Good Food and some diets are not synonymous.

Conventional and traditional fad diets usually do not work. Calorie-counting diets, meal replacement diets or even high-protein food diets with no carbs - in my opinion these will all fail you and, even worse, most of them are tedious, pointless and downright dangerous to the body. Sure, they might help you lose weight in a few weeks or even in a few months. In the long run, though you won't be able to continue with these fad diets because ultimately you will gain your weight back (i.e soy protein meal replacement). I mean how long can you keep on skipping lunch??? - 2 years???), and you won't be doing your body any favors.

Fad diets operate on restricting you, and in effect will usually starve you of something important that your body needs. For instance, high protein/low carb diet craze is nutritionally flawed. Every living human being must have complex carbohydrate to function, to think, for energy, for good sex and for a positive mental health. People who go on meal replacement or stop eating complex carbohydrates (eat heaps of protein instead) suffer constipation, mood swings, dizziness, headaches, stomach cramps etc.

A diet is not about starving yourself, but rather eating foods that are good and healthy and eating them in abundance. Otherwise how are the cells going to be nourished to stay young, prevent cancer etc.
