Fad diets constantly shift the focus onto something being bad for you, but they don't address the complex nature of how we live in today's society.
The principle of fat loss is a calorie deficit, regardless of the method or diet you choose.
Fad diets may work in the short term due to initial motivation and quick results, but they often become unsustainable.
Flexible dieting, which involves tracking macronutrients and understanding food choices, can be a more sustainable approach to fat loss.
Having a plan for post-diet is crucial to maintain weight loss and make sustainable lifestyle changes.
