There is sensible weight loss dieting and then there are mad fad diets. The sensible diets recommend a slow steady approach to losing weight with controlled and restrictive eating. The other type of mad fad diets say you will lose a lot of weight in a very short period of time.

Is it even possible that these very low calorie diets can work? They claim great things but you must know that they are not based on normal food and ideas. I know this because I have lost 5 stones in a space of just 15 weeks on one of these diets.

There are very definite reasons why this diet worked for me and why it could work for you. The main reason is the rules that you have to follow.

Fad diets have very strict rules that you have to follow. This means that they are very easy to understand. They give you a meal plan that says “this is what you can eat” It is very limited and usually quite boring but you know that if you stick to the diet rules you will lose the weight.

Standard diets by contrast allow you a huge range of food options but this is where the rules get confusing. You are so busy counting points and calories that you do not know quite what you are allowed to eat and when.

You can see that the simplicity of the diet rules help you on this type of program. But of course then the question is can you stick to the diet rules you are given. The rules that you do have are in a way much harder to stick to but you also expect to be hungry on this type of diet so you expect this. You end up with a set of thoughts focussed on resolving to stay on the diet rather than giving up.

Rules for diets are what make them work. I just like the simple and easy to follow rules of mad fad diets.
