Introduction
| Health Fads | |
| Meatless Monday's | Less meat was consumed centuries ago so having less meat isn't so bad as more superfoods like vegetables will be on your plate and less fats. |
| Juicing | With juicing healthy fats, protein and fibre are missing and its high in sugar which creates a blood sugar rush/high. |
| Shakes |
Meal replacement shakes are un-healthy habit as weight will return to the body because of not eating whole foods. |
| Carb less diet |
Missing the whole grain that is needed within the system, refined grains are not good to eat example, white bread and white rice. |
| Weight loss pills | Basically this is a scam as weight loss pills do not work. These are meant to suppress your appetite but they are full of harmful ingredients which can harm you body. |
Task
Shakes are mainly promoted by in store chemist adertising and some television adds, they are successful because they are very easy to make and take the place of a normal meal. They are unsuccessful because once you have lost the weight and decide not to have any more shakes you put all that weight back on plus maybe more. The side effect of shakes can lead to bad breath and tiredness from inadequate calories.
Meatless Monday's are maketed by blogs on the internet, these are successful because people are looking for alternative healthy ideas, like vegetarian living to change their lifestyle. It would be unsuccessful because people would forget easily about meatless Monday or cook whatever meat they had. There really is no side effects to meatless Monday's because eating less meat reduces heart disease and stroke, limits cancer risk, fights diabetes, curbs obesity and helps you live longer.
Weight loss pills are mainly marketed by spam into emails, adds online and in the supermarkets. The promotion of these are very successfully done because of the way the information is written and the video links online, which are promoting people who have lots heaps of weight just by using these pills. Doctors do not agree with most dietary pills as the additives in them are no good for our bodies and it is just a gimmick. The negative side effects of weight loss pills increase blood pressure and heart rate, insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, constipation and dry mouth just to name a few.
Meatless Monday is a fad that I would prefer as I love my vegetables and fruit plus I enjoy some vegetarian meals that mum makes.
I would least like to try the dietary pills as they are really not good for you and I am unsure of what is really in them.
