Fad diets offer a new door. People think "well this is new it must work" and decide to go on the diet. People will try anything to lose weight. I follow low carb, high protein diet. This diet has been around for many many years and works wonders as long as you are exercising.

Because the main reason they are fat is because they are lazy and they are looking for a quick fix to get skinny. So when they hear about a pill or a crazy cabbage soup diet or whatever, they think it is going to be their miracle and they are going to be skinny and gorgeous after 1 week of doing it.... Deep down they know that a balanced diet and lots of exercise is the only way, but they do not have the drive or the willpower to lose weight that way. Thats why most people never end up losing the weight. I give people a HUGE amount of congratulations that have lost weight and kept it off by being smart and using that common sense!!!

Because they have tried all the rest. They continue to search for the "magic bullet" that will slay their weight control issue. They don't always realize that dieting is not a solution - changing their mind to actually eat and live healthier is the way to go. And although this is not extremely difficult to accomplish (though you do have to work at it) it is always easier to try the latest and greatest and see if that will do the trick. It doesn't.
