I'm going to now post a diet ad at every post for your enjoyment :)

This week I found a quote from wikipedia that I though explained what a diet fad exactly was and here is it "A fad diet is believed by its practitioners to improve health. It is often promoted by parties that publish books about the diet, or sell specialized ingredients or supplements that are part of the diet, despite being unconfirmed by legitimate scientific studies. A fad diet may do nothing at all, or even have an adverse result if it is nutritionally unbalanced or otherwise unhealthy. Weight loss experts such as Richard Simmons, who tried numerous diets in his youth at the cost of his health, strongly discourages them as not only unhealthy, but also counter-

productive in the long term." For more helpful imformation read the whole article here.
