Each fad is marketed by the use of television, internet and magazines. The three fads that I selected are weightloss supllements, meatless Monday and juicing all foods. the one I would most likely to try is the meatless Monday because I don't like meat. I would least likely to try the weightloss supplements because I don't like taking tablets.

Conclusion
Zone diet
The diet: A formula made famous in books by US biochemist Barry Sears. It advocates consuming kilojoules from carbohydrates, protein and fat in a "40:30:30" ratio of kilojoules obtained daily from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, respectively. According to Sears, this ratio of fats helps dieters' hormones stay within a healthy zone.
The dangers: "This is quite a strict, formula-based diet however it's probably one of the better fad diets, because it still allows for carbohydrates. It does have more protein than most Australians would generally eat. There is no magic formula that will make you lose weight like this diet suggests, and some people's diets work better having less carbs and more protein," Ferraretto says.
Possible side effects: Constipation, bad breath, stomach cramps, nausea.
The followers: Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, Renee Zellweger.
Lemon detox diet
Lemon detox diet
The diet: It comes under many guises but is meant to release the body of poisonous toxins. While on the plan, the dieter only consumes six to 10 drinks a day, which consist of lemon, tree syrup, cayenne pepper, salt, herbal tea and water.
The dangers: "You don't eat food for a week to 10 days. It's a fast and makes you sick. People feel absolutely awful and it's so unnecessary - it's dangerous to starve your body like that. Beyond anything else, your metabolism completely slows down," Ferraretto says.
Possible side effects: Low concentration, failing digestive system, cravings, fat gain.
The followers: Beyonce, Tania Zaetta.
