Diet Scams
I have encountered many patients who are frustrated with their weight loss program but yet are so convinced about the claims of the program that they refuse to make any changes. If you are happy with your current plan, this may not be for you. For those who are not getting the results they expect or desire, it may be time to rethink your present plan.
It amuses me how the commercial weight loss programs offer what amounts to the same concept to people who are desperate to lose weight. What they fail to realize is that our bodies are all created different. While a diet of salads pasta, yogurt, cereal and fruit may work for some, it will not work for everyone. Yet people spend billions of dollars funding the profits of corporations like Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers.
If your program is not working as expected, I suggest you take a look at your daily food choices. Because some “expert” tells you to eat a certain foods does not necessarily mean that it is the best thing for you. If your low fat and zero calories options are not helping you achieve your desired results, then you are wasting your time and money unless you do not expect a different outcome.
According to Einstein, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. “It ain’t gonna happen”. In my opinion, the best program for you is one that looks at your current habits and makes suggestions based on sound evidence and your food preferences.
For most people, a diet that assigns you calories, points, carbs etc. without considering your current food choices and habits is a recipe for failure that robs you of your hard earned cash.
