Here are the five worst dieting methods according to experts:
1. Advocating for diets that only consist of a few types or a specific type of food (such as cabbage soup diet, vegetarian diet, low-carb diet, etc.). Remember: regardless of the food, as long as it is consumed in moderation, it is a healthy eating approach.
2. Detox diets (such as cleansing the intestines or detoxing the liver). Organs in the human body, like the liver, kidneys, and immune system, naturally eliminate toxins. Therefore, these so-called detox diets are unnecessary.
3. Weight loss diets that rely on "magic" foods (such as bitter orange, green tea, apple cider vinegar, etc.). Stop wasting money on such products as they often contain enzymes that are believed to aid in metabolism. The body already has its own metabolic processes and can produce the enzymes it needs.
4. Fasting or low-calorie diets (such as vegetarian diets...). Low-calorie diets claim to help people lose 0.5 to 1 pound per week, which is entirely unrealistic.
5. Unrealistic diet plans that sound too good to be true. Many diet plans claim to have secrets and are often pseudoscience. Do not believe in magical weight loss foods or pills.
