PITFALLS

When deciding to go on a program, people usually choose something that provides a certain aspect that appeals to them. Some offer weight loss by cutting out a type of food, such as the Atkins diet, which reduced weight management to simply cutting out your carbs. No more counting calories, or weighing portion sizes, simple, and claims to be effective. HOWEVER the Atkins diet is seriously flawed. But besides all the health risks you can read about in the Atkins diet review, there's a simple truth that remains the same for most diet programs: once you go off the program, you regain the weight, plus more.

Also, when cutting out a food group, a major pitfall is that by cutting it out, eventually our bodies will crave the food, and in addition to the physical craving, a psychological craving will develop too. This leads us to eventually go on a binge of the food, and any weight loss by cutting it out will be reversed.
