Good, Bad, or Fad.

                                  The ups and downs of dieting and exercising

Everything we do has a positive or negative outcome. Some things may have a positive outcome for a short time and then become negative, while other things maybe just one or the other. So today we are going to be discussing the good programs, bad programs, and fad programs. Let's start out by talking about the good programs. Good diets are diets that involve exercise and a healthy eating plan. Some examples are all the Beachbody workouts because they include exercise programs, healthy eating booklet, and Shakeology (if you choose to buy it, which I highly recommend) and much more.Some of the programs you can choose from are:

                                 

• Les Mills Combat             
• Les Mills Push
• 21 Day Fix
• Body Gospel
• Insanity
• P90X
• T25

These are just a few, if you would like to see some more programs there are you can visit this link

Now here are some of the bad diets to stay away from at all costs                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

• Starvation diets- these might make you lose weight, but once you start eating again you will gain the weight and more twice as fast than if you followed a simple yet effective program
• Overeating diets- when I say over eating I am talking about overeating one healthy food item to get a boost, this might seem good, but when people do this they tend to only that one food or barely enough food with it and then end up like in the starvation diet because they aren't getting all their nutritional values
• High protein low carb- this is when people eat a lot of chicken, or fish, and other high protein items. When they do this they eat very little or no carbs. It might seems like a good idea, but in all reality it's not because your body needs a sufficient amount of carbs to survive and when you have less than that your body starts shutting off certain functions.

Next are the fad diets. Now remember the fad and bad diets are almost interchangeable. Meaning a lot of the bad diets fall under the fad diets as well. And vice versa.

• Army diet- this is basically a three day a week diet and it's very similar to a starvation diet. It gets your body used to surviving off very little, which means that once you start eating regularly again your body gains weight back fast.
• Juice cleansing diet- in this diet people drink juice. Yes juice, and that's it. Any food they want to have they turn it into juice and drink it. They normally do this for about 7 days, but it can go longer. This is kind of obvious why it's not good for you, but I will state it anyways. Your body cannot live off liquids alone. It doesn't matter how many fruits and veggies you put in it, it won't be enough. However if you use Shakeology and only substitute it for one meal then that is perfectly acceptable.
• One food for a week- this is also known as the cabbage soup diet. Someone came up with the idea that if they ate one super food for a week straight then they would lose weight and be healthier overall. Yes it can be beneficial, but not for a week straight. Your body needs many food groups to survive and thrive.

These are just a few in every category, there are many many more, but there was not enough time or room to list them all, so this should help some if you're trying to figure out what programs to do or stay away from.

If y'all have any questions or comments please feel free to comment.

Hope y'all enjoyed.
