These disadvantages can range from statistics, results, and meal plans. According to www.diets.com “as many as 95% of people who lose weight from fad diets gain it back within five years.” Results can vary from drastic weight loss to bad side effects; there are side effects like weakness, indigestion, and headaches. This reason being, your body is not used to eating such less amounts suddenly. The entire metabolism is disturbed because there is no time for the body to adapt itself to the food and time difference. Fad diets also have advantages like a speedy weight loss, for example if you do the lemonade diet you can lose weight in less than one month.
As a matter of fact, Critser provides further evidence showing that overweight kids who were put on a supervised diet had better eating habits.

Naeema Goni Discuss two or more explanations for the success and failure of dieting (8 + 16 marks) Dieting has become an extremely popular method to use in attempt to change body size and shape in order to fit in with the thin western ideal of beauty. The first method explaining the impact of dieting is the restraint theory, Herman and Mack (1975) suggest that by restraining our food intake we actually increase the risk of overeating, which is explains why many diets fail and some people even end up putting more weight on. Herman and Polivy (1984) created the boundary model to explain this in further detail, this model suggests that dieters have a larger range between their hunger and satiety levels, so it takes them longer to feel hungry and they need to eat more food to be satisfied, dieters have a desirable food intake level that they self-impose but when they perceive themselves to go over that level they experience the disinhibition effect and continue to eat until satisfied. This disinhibition of behaviour after the self-imposed limit is overstepped the ‘what the hell effect’ comes into action. The dieter who eats more than their self-imposed limit begins to feel a sense of ‘why bother?’ Once this is overcome the ‘what the hell’ effect takes over and eating is disinhibited and they feel that they might as well carry on.
‘Dieting often fails because people are trying to go against their biological drive to eat’. Discuss explanations for the success and failure of dieting. Dieting is increasingly popular as people try to fit into the thin western ideal of beauty. Theories for the failure of dieting include the restraint theory, while it has been suggested that the key to success is the amount of attention we give to the detail of our food. This ideology is inevitably influenced by interplay of cognitive, biological and external factors.
People go on these starvation diets thinking that they are going to lose a lot of weight, but what ends up happening is that their body goes into starvation mode and their body stores the fat because the body does not know when the next time it is going to get food. Some studies have found that individuals have regained 7 to 122% of their initial weight loss. Starvation diets do not meet the needs of the general population. There is a reason why we eat which is for energy, survival, health, and growth and if your on a starvation diet it does not meet these needs. In terms of eating patterns adolescents have a increase of need of energy.
At the end of the study, both groups of dieters lost the same amount of weight: an average of 24.2 pounds. Moreover, for the most part, their health parameters were nearly identical.s dietary fats carry almost twice as many calories as carbohydrates and proteins, reducing dietary fat intake seems a natural approach to weight loss. In fact, the current USDA Food Pyramid recommends a low fat diet for healthy living. As the name implies, a low fat diet involves careful regulation of the amounts of dietary fats one may eat, reducing fat intake to 30% of one's total intake with only 10% of total calories in saturated fat form.

The average teenage or adult woman needs to eat between 4000 to 7500 kilojoules each day to stay healthy. A person with anorexia will eat 1000 to 2000 kilojoules a day. A lot of people with anorexia say that they like to feel hungry because than they know they are not gaining weight. A lot of anorexics become anorexics because they have been abused physically or mentally. People with eating disorders often want to feel special and accepted by others.
Obesity is known to be the plague of the 21st century in the United States of America. It affects all age groups from childhood to adulthood. Due to the obesity epidemic in the country, there are countless programs, pills, and diet plans that are marketed every day to the American public advertising weight loss.

The Impact of Blood Sugar and Insulin on Dieting Brady Palmer Lock Haven University People, who support weight loss plans, believe that isolating the different causes of obesity and overweight will guarantee weight loss in a short amount of time. By isolating the different causes of weight gain, the supporters of the weight loss plans believe that losing weight will be made simpler for people, who would want to lose weight without devoting too much time for exercise and dieting. The causes of weight gain are determined by a person’s consumption of food and production of hormones. The supporters of weight loss plans feel that limiting the production of certain hormones through the regulation of food consumption can significantly reduce weight loss in comparison to exercise and dieting. Insulin is a hormone that significantly contributes to weight gain (Hertzler & Kim, 2003).
