All diets work…until they don’t.

Filed under: Articles, Featured — Diet Shock @ 6:35 pm

The simple fact is that all diets work, until they don’t. It seems like there is a new diet everyday and they all have people that swear by them. In the modern age there is a dizzying array of plans and potions: The New York Diet and the Hollywood Diet; Dr. Phil’s diet and Dr. Atkins diet; The Chocolate Diet and The Cabbage Soup Diet; The Acid Diet and the Alkaline Diet; The Subway Diet and the Grapefruit Diet…. There are diets for every disposition, body type, mood, ethnic background, star sign, and possibly hairstyle and just as big a selection of “pills or potions of the week” that promise effortless results.

All “miracle” plans and potions have several things in common:

1. They all have outrageous / fantasy testimonials
2. They all promise to be easy
3. They all work
4. They all fail
5. They tell you that it’s the truth of their plan / potion when they work and that it’s your fault when it fails

Some diets are as simple as the Japanese Banana diet; which is as simple as eating some bananas for breakfast every day and only allowing yourself to eat other meals until you are 80% full.

Some diets are very complicated, like the Zone diet which forbids many foods and asks you to specifically balance percentages of carbs, proteins, and fats for every single meal.

We here at Diet Shock are going to tell you why these diets work even though the diets appear to be radically different. We will also tell what they have in common and why they eventually fail. More importantly we are going to tell you why the failure of a diet is NEVER your fault. Join today to learn more!
