Dieting Tactics & FADS, Do They Work??

Back to GHN Blog

Diets are FADS (an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived) and are simply short-term tactics.

Dieting isn’t a long-term solution when you want to change. Weight loss is a key part of body transformation and at GHN we have one the best, proven solutions for that. Shortcuts don’t last. Hard work does. When you’re committed to change, GHN are here to help.

FADs have a 69% failure rate and all have one thing in common: a temporary solution to what for many people is a lifelong problem. Once the diet is stopped, the lost weight is usually re gained quickly, since none of the diets teach behavior modification (changing how you eat).

How do I spot a fad diet?

While there is no set approach to spotting a fad diet, the following guidelines can help. Fad diets tend to have:

  • Recommendations that promise a quick fix.
  • Claims that sound too good to be true.
  • Simplistic conclusions drawn from a complex study.
  • Recommendations based on a single study.
  • Dramatic statements that are refuted by reputable scientific organizations.
  • Lists of "good" and "bad" foods.
  • Recommendations made to help sell a product.
  • Recommendations based on studies published without peer review.
  • Recommendations from studies that ignore differences among individuals or groups.

Elimination of one or more of the five food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy).


What is still the best method to lose weight and keep it off?

  • Exercise regularly and eat a variety of foods with moderate portions.
