years to describe how we eat, the foods we choose, and our dietary intake, but in the recent decade, the term has taken on a negative meaning. dieting for weight loss is one of the most popular lifestyle changes made today, and, unfortunately, it\u2019s likely one that won\u2019t turn out the way you expected.<\/p>\n<h3>what is a weight-loss diet?<\/h3>\n<p>in terms of weight loss, what makes a diet a diet and not a normal eating plan? a diet is one you adopt to lose weight, typically consuming fewer calories, fat, or carbohydrates than a traditional diet. the dictionary actually shares a definition focused on weight loss. the verb form means \u201crestrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food to lose weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>the term restrict immediately pops out. going back to the dictionary, we can see that restrict means to reduce, limit, constrain, control, cutback, regulate, and the like. in a basic form, a diet is a restriction you place on eating &#8211; and restriction is a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n<p>the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc5788840\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>korean journal of family medicine<\/em><\/a> puts the problem with why diets never work perfectly. \u201cthe misunderstanding of the concept of dieting should be corrected, and appropriate concepts should be adopted into local culture and food habits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>the list of weight-loss diets is a mile long, with some of the more common being low-fat, low-carb, and low-calorie.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em; color: #aaa\" id=\"jump-popular-diets\">popular diets<\/div><h2>closer look at the most popular weight-loss diets<\/h2>\n<h3>low-fat<\/h3>\n<p>a low-fat diet is one that restricts fat intake, typically in the form of cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans fats. while the main focus of the diet is on heart health, the diet is also commonly used for weight loss. so, what does science say about the long-lived low-fat diet?<\/p>\n<p>research in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc4667723\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>the lancet<\/em><\/a> shows that, over the course of reviewing more than 50 studies on low-fat diets, lower-fat interventions were no more effective at promoting weight loss than lower carbohydrate diets. low-fat and moderate-fat diets showed the same results.<\/p>\n<p>in 2016 research in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/26602244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>clinical nutrition<\/em><\/a>, low-fat diets, which promoted intake of more carbohydrates, actually led to a higher risk of metabolic syndrome. metabolic syndrome is a group of various symptoms that, when combined, increases the risk of certain diseases, high cholesterol, and abdominal fat stores.<\/p>\n<p>research has long proven that low-fat diets are nothing special. in a 2002 review of research, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/12076496\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>cochrane database<\/em><\/a> revealed that \u201cfat-restricted diets are not better than calorie-restricted diets in achieving long-term weight loss in overweight or obese people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>so, we know low-fat diets aren\u2019t the best option for weight loss, but what about the ever-popular low-carb diet?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">did you know there\u2019s a better way to lose weight? you can learn how to eat, when to eat and what to eat with the noom

million foods, and no restrictive diets are allowed.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>low-carb<\/h3>\n<p>the low-carb diet, whether via atkins or the new keto trend, is nothing more than restricting carbohydrate intake to the point that the body needs to turn to fat for energy. fat stores are burned, and you lose weight, but is low-carb any more effective than other weight-loss options?<\/p>\n<p>the big no-no in low-carb dieting isn\u2019t whether or not eating fewer carbs promotes weight loss because we know it does, if only in the short term, it\u2019s with the fact that no long-term effects have been noted. studies just haven\u2019t lasted long enough to give us a clear understanding of the impacts of restricted carb intake on body functions and overall health, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc3530364\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>american journal of epidemiology<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>as if the lack of research wasn\u2019t enough to turn someone away from a low-carb diet for weight loss, the fact that research shows just how poorly the studies were completed and controlled is enough to make anyone second guess the results, as per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/30194696\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>obesity reviews<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/14672862\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>asia pacific journal of clinical nutrition<\/em><\/a> agrees that more research is needed to realize and report the possible long-term effects of low-carb. there\u2019s simply not enough research to support a long-term healthy low-carb diet.<\/p>\n<p>so we know that low-fat diets are no more effective than other diet plans and low-carb diets haven\u2019t been tested over the long term for weight loss, what about the old tried and true low-calorie or very-low-calorie diet?<\/p>\n<h3>low-calorie\/vlcd<\/h3>\n<p>a low-calorie, or very-low-calorie, diet is one that aims to reduce the number of calories you take in to less than the amount the body needs to function each day. this negative balance then causes weight loss on a fundamental level. so, what\u2019s the real deal with the eat less\/move more mentality?<\/p>\n<p>in the 1970s, the idea was that significantly reducing calorie intake was the right idea for weight loss. overall, in the short term, the vlcd diet was no more effective than a more standard low-calorie diet, according to the journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16988070\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>obesity<\/em><\/a> (silver spring).<\/p>\n<p>so, to start, the low-calorie diet is not necessarily more effective at helping you lose weight, based on 2017 research in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc5639963\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>perspectives on psychological science<\/em><\/a>. the research concluded that a low-calorie diet, \u201cby itself&#8230;will have limited short-term influence.\u201d you can\u2019t just eat less to lose weight, that\u2019s not how the body works.<\/p>\n<p>moving on to very-low-calorie diets (vlcd), you move into the medically-guided weight loss realm. men and women take on the challenge of trying vlcd to lose weight, and these diets are often successful for the very short term. once hunger takes control, you may find you gain all the weight back and then some.<\/p>\n<p>one of the first things to consider with a vlcd is safety. as far back as 1983, journals like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/6357020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>annals of internal medicine<\/em><\/a> shared concern that very-low-calorie diets are only safe when followed short-term under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.<\/p>\n<p>another problem with vlcd is the dropout rate. when you can\u2019t eat enough food to keep you full, you may turn to food in desperation once you feel overwhelmingly hungry. people just don\u2019t stick with a vlcd because it\u2019s just too hard on the body, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22573706\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>drugs and therapeutic bulletin.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>after reviewing the top three weight-loss diets and seeing just why diets never work, let\u2019s take a look at some of the more extreme diet changes that have no business in the same sentence as \u201csafe weight loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em; color: #aaa\" id=\"jump-extreme-diets\">extreme diets<\/div><h2>what extreme diets to avoid<\/h2>\n<p><strong>cabbage soup diet:<\/strong> the cabbage soup diet is one of the oldest around. with a recipe that\u2019s taken on many versions over the years, the basic premise is to make soup out of cabbage and various other vegetables and eat that for three to seven days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>why avoid it?<\/strong> the calories and nutrition provided by the soup are far less than the body needs. the only possible way to include the cabbage soup into your diet, in a healthy way, is to include it as part of intermittent fasting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>master cleanse:<\/strong> the master cleanse is another oldy, but it continues to pop up in the news, often in celebrity circles, every once in a while. the master cleanse uses a combination of ingredients like apple juice and apple cider vinegar to promote weight loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>why avoid it?<\/strong> much like the cabbage soup diet, the master cleanse doesn\u2019t provide the calories or nutrition needed to support good health. of the two &#8211; cabbage soup and master cleanse &#8211; at least the cabbage soup diet has some calories and some nutrition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>weight-loss tea:<\/strong> the typical weight-loss tea is a combination of herbs, laxatives, and natural diuretics. the weight you lose has nothing to do with fat stores. instead, you are losing water weight, which you will gain back as soon as you stop drinking the weight-loss tea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>why avoid it?<\/strong> when you lose water weight unnaturally, as is the case with natural diuretics and weight-loss teas, you can also lose electrolytes like sodium and potassium that are needed for many essential body processes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>clean eating:<\/strong> if you were to look for a reliable source of information on the history of clean eating, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find anything. there\u2019s no indication of when this trend started, and the definition depends on who you ask.<\/p>\n<p><strong>why avoid it?<\/strong> with no definitive background and precise definition, clean eating is nothing more than a fad with no clinical support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>activated charcoal:<\/strong> one of the newest detox diets out there is the activated charcoal diet. in the 80s, some research showed charcoal may help ease digestive and gastrointestinal discomfort. from there, the idea of detoxing the body was born, though no science supports the claims. what science does say is that activated charcoal can help relieve gas and bloating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>why avoid it?<\/strong> there\u2019s simply no evidence, of any kind, that links activated charcoal to body detox or weight loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>green\/detox diets:<\/strong> the green\/detox diet is all about the cucumbers, lettuce, kale, and other fruits and vegetables. for anywhere from three to seven days, you drink only green smoothies made from natural ingredients. in some cases, protein powder is used to balance out nutrition, especially when following a green diet for more than a few days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>why avoid it?<\/strong> there\u2019s no way to get enough nutrients and protein from green smoothies with only fruits and vegetables. plus, some fruits are actually packed with natural sugars and tons of calories, which could drive the number of calories in each smoothie higher than some meals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>collagen:<\/strong> another big trend right now across beauty, weight loss, and overall health is dietary collagen. the body typically gets all the collagen it needs from meat sources, but supplementing has grown popular in recent years. in two studies, with a total of around 50 participants, collagen as gelatin increased the feeling of fullness after eating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>why avoid it?<\/strong> there\u2019s not enough science to show just how collagen supplements can benefit weight loss. we do acknowledge that further research is needed in the field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>saltwater cleanse:<\/strong> a saltwater cleanse or saltwater flush is supposed to cleanse your system and help you lose weight. the problem is that saltwater has a laxative effect, so you spend more time in the bathroom, which is where the weight loss comes in. you\u2019re losing water weight, not fat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>why avoid it?<\/strong> the laxative effect can be harsh on the bowel system and, if misused, laxatives can make it difficult to move waste without a laxative. to top it off, you\u2019re not losing weight you\u2019re losing water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>fasting:<\/strong> intermittent fasting has some solid research behind it, but extreme fasting is nothing less than dangerous. strict fasting involves going for days with nothing other than water or other non-nutritive drinks, broth, and clear soups. the daily intake of calories can be as low as 300-500, which is not enough to keep the body moving, let alone healing, rebuilding, and restoring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>why avoid it?<\/strong> there are no trustworthy guidelines for extreme fasting and no medical precedence that weight lost while fasting will stay off once you return to eating whole foods.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">noom has been clinically tested on more than 30,000
