6. Weightloss Day Focus
-most patients that are unsuccessful with
weight loss are those that have tried many
“fad diets” in the past and think that there is
a “magic pill” that will help them lose weight
-they also feel that there is something wrong
with their metabolism because they “only eat
one meal a day” and are still gaining weight
-portion sizes over the years have increased

8. General Concepts of Fad
Diets
-most plans are nothing more than low-calorie
-the bottom line is the caloric deficit
-the average person consumes 300 calories
more per day than he/she did 30 yrs ago
-he/she also expends a little over 200 calories
less per day than in the past due to more
sedentary lifestyles
-increased caloric intake + decreased caloric
expenditure=weight gain
9. General Disadvantages
of Fad Diets
-most promote rapid, initial weight loss which
is often temporary (but is what attracts the
consumer to the diet in the first place)
-weight is often regained plus extra!
-people need to understand that the key to
healthy, maintained weight loss is often slow,
but steady, and focuses on healthy eating
and exercise habits
