The Cabbage Soup Diet

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Lets set the record straight Many of these diets falsely say they are endorsed by or authored by our association. Thesediets also violate second important principle of good nutrition balanced diet that includes variety of foods.

Why does the AHA care about these diets? We want to inform the public about misleading weightloss claims. Becausemost quickweightlossdiets require drastic changes in eating patterns, you cant stay on them for long periods. Many dont encourage physical activityfor example, walking minutes or all days of the week.

QuickWeightLoss or Fad DietsAHA Recommendation Our nutrition experts recommend adopting healthy eating habits permanently, rather than impatiently pursuing crash diets in hopes of losing unwanted pounds in few days. The Cabbage Soup Diet mentioned above is an example. Quickweightloss diets usually overemphasize one particular food or type of food has all the nutrients you need for good health. In addition, many fad diets are based on food folklore, some dating back to the early 19th century.They havenot been documented to be safe in the long term. Thesediets also violate second important principle of good nutrition Eating should be enjoyable.

Thesediets also violate second important principle of good nutrition balanced diet that includes variety of foods. Ideas about fatburning foods and food combining are also classified by the American Heart Association as unsubstantiated myths. Despite whatquickweightlossdiet books say, the only sensible way to lose weight andmaintain healthy weight permanentlyis to less and balance your food intake with physical activity. This socalled fatburning soup is eaten mostly with fruits and vegetables. Becausemost quickweightlossdiets require drastic changes in eating patterns, you cant stay on them for long periods.

The diet supposedly helps heart patients lose 1017 pounds in seven days before surgery. Thesediets also violate second important principle of good nutrition Eating should be enjoyable.These diets are so monotonous and boring that its almost impossible to stay on such diet for more than few weeks, you develop nutritional deficiencies, because no one type of food has all the nutrients you need for good health.

The diet supposedly helps heart patients lose 1017 pounds in seven days before surgery. They violate the first principle of good nutrition balanced diet that includes variety of foods.
