HEALTHY EATING
Fad diets and pills don’t work. You may lose weight quickly, but it’s hard to keep it off. This causes a “yo-yo” effect that could harm your health and your confidence.
Beware! Look for these signs of a fad diet:
* Claims of fast, amazing weight loss
* Hard-to-believe testimonials
* Strict rules of avoiding certain foods
* A claim that the diet works for everyone
Talk to your doctor about safe, healthy ways to lose weight.
