Myth: Crash diets do not work


Yes, a crash diet that leads you to concentrate on one particular category of food or to ignore vital nutrients may be bad for you. But all the scientific research shows that a crash diet is the most effective way of losing weight quickly.

Doctors who admit this will warn you that even if you lose weight on a crash diet it will all come back very quickly. Well, perhaps not.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania compared very low calorie diets with standard diets. They found that while weight tended to come back once people stopped dieting there was no difference in the extent of weight gain between those who went on crash diets and those who followed the so-called healthy diets.
