Content Summary :
FAD DIETS AND WEIGHT LOSS Dieting seems to have become one of the most popular activities and concerns in America. More than 50 million Americans go on diets each year - yet, only 5 percent keep that weight off. The dieting industry is huge. Americans spend $30 billion a year on diet products, such as pills, drinks, and weight loss programs. Many people start strict eating patterns hoping to lose weight or become healthier. Books, diet centers, advertisements on television, in newspapers and magazines tell us their way is the best to feel and look better. Teenagers under 15 years old should not be dieting without a reputable doctor’s supervision. An adolescent’s body is still maturing and severe dieting can impair growth or even cause permanent damage. Increasing exercise is the best way for this age group to redistribute their weight. Unfortunately teenagers diet more than any other group in the U.S. and are easily influenced by the commercial diet plan claims of success. You should keep in mind a number of things if you are deciding whether to go on a reducing diet and you’re looking at these commercial pre-designed diet plans.
