Diet Doc Examines Troubling Trend of Illness-Based 'Flu Diet,' 'Cancer-Diet' and Others

/EINPresswire.com/ -- LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - April 21, 2017) - Given how difficult the average weight loss journey can be, it's no wonder that many people go to extreme measures to lose weight fast. Normally such trends manifest themselves in fad dieting, very low-calorie consumption, meal replacements, juicing, fasting, etc. All these 'diets' have their own set of rules and you'd assume that if they actually worked, the industry wouldn't be producing so many versions of them over time. In fact, most of them trigger temporary, unsustainable weight loss, along with a multitude of additional side-effects such as hunger, binge eating, mood swings, heart palpitations, low-energy, nutritional deficiencies and a host of others.

However, as damaging as fad dieting can be, there's been a disturbing recent trend of celebrities and/or journalists who are promoting illness as a way to lose weight quickly. Just last week, a popular magazine faced criticism when it seemed to promote cancer as a diet plan due to the weight loss experienced while on chemotherapy. This week, a major celebrity tweeted that her six-pound weight loss under the "flu diet" was amazing. Joke or not, very few pop culture experts understand what is involved in making healthy dieting and lifestyle choices.

Diet Doc strongly recommends that any new dieting regimen be supervised by a licensed doctor or certified nutritionist who can take into account all dietary needs and specifications. This is particularly critical for those who suffer from obesity, heart disease, diabetes or any other medical condition as not to create unnecessary complications. Diet Doc is troubled by the fact that an increasing number of consumers are getting their weight loss advice from celebrities and trendy magazines rather than consulting with experienced weight loss professionals. While consumers are certainly intelligent enough not to take much of the advice seriously, it still points to an overwhelming cultural desire to discover quick ways to lose weight, rather than make investments in one's health. Diet Doc's offers customized weight loss strategies based on your unique needs rather than an unsafe, ineffective cookie-cutter template.
