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.

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.
