No Fad for You

Posted on October 23, 2009

I read this post over at Everyman Tri about the “cookie diet” and found this quote that’s worth sharing:

“Generally speaking, fad diets misinform the public and fuel a fire of continued curiosity with this dieting mentality, which we know gets us nowhere. We need to be very aware of that fact whenever we skew our eating in any direction; the chances are that we’re going to hinder our health and not enhance it.”

– Dr. Ovidio Bermudez, medical director of Laureate Eating Disorders Program

The cookie diet, or any other fad diet is not a good idea. Don’t let yourself believe the hype. Here’s my take on the “cookie diet” from awhile back.
