Yes, this is true. It happens to me. I managed to lose 3 pounds within a short span of a few days. However, I will not recommend my diet to anyone.

The reason is simple. I got my lost weight back in just as short a period of time. You see, most diet plans in the ads on the internet and in magazines claim that you can lose weight fast.

What actually happen is these diets are temporary and mainly due to loss of water weight. Once we re-hydrate, we gain back our lost weight.

More reasons that fad diets are a no-no.

1.  It usually asks you to just consume a single food type. You will then miss out on the nutrition of other food. This is actually harmful to your body.

2.  Fad diet may include vitamins and supplements to replace food that you missed. Sometimes, these supplements are not absorbed into your body unless you take them with other types of food. Unfortunately, these foods were excluded from the fad diets.

3.  These diets are unappetizing that you need strong willpower to complete the course. Once you give up by binging, you not only not lose weight but also lose your self esteem.

4.  These diets offer only temporary solutions. Although you stick to the strict regime, you will tend to gain weight once you complete the plan, and regain your old eating habits (no fault of yours as your body needs the nutrition).

So you see, don’t trust the ads on such diet plans that promise quick weight loss as they never work long term.

The best way for a more permanent and natural weight loss is to eat a variety of healthy foods, and exercise regularly. Of course there are other easy weight loss methods in the market other than fad diets. You just have to do some research to pick the right ones.
