Fad diets seem to find their way into the headlines of all forms of the media. With the bombardment of information, it can be difficult to separate the good from the not so good involving fad diets. Along with an overview of what’s out there, Fad Diets breaks down, reviews, and categorizes the basic types of fad diets. The DVD details why they work, why they don’t, and why most should be avoided. The DVD is designed to provide the knowledge necessary to determine the efficacy of the next “hot” dietary fad. Among the topics covered: An overview of the most common types of fad diets, a review of claims proposed by each type of fad, existing research on current fad diets, and tips on how to lose weight correctly and effectively. Produced in cooperation with the American College of Sports Medicine.
