Fad Diets

It's not even New Year yet and Kelloggs are already promoting there ridiculous eat 2 bowls of Special K per day for 2 weeks and screw your blood sugar levels up..erm I mean drop a dress size.

I have a particular issue with these sorts of diets because all they provide is a quick fix, it's not based on health, it's based on selling more sugar laden, poor excuse for food. There's probably more nutrition in the box it comes in!

If you go on their website you'll see they have 'expert' advice?
Do you really need an 'expert' to teach you how to eat 2 bowls of Special K per day for 2 weeks?

There's absolutely nothing special about the diet, calorie reduction works for weight loss.
However you don't need such a severe reduction in calories to lose weight and you would get the same results if you substituted the Special K for real food like fruit.

Because it's such a quick fix, it doesn't allow time to develop new, healthy eating habits.

The Special K adverts also have Sarah Cox doing the voice over. It really annoys me when celebrities advertise any old junk for a quick buck. I don't think they realise the influence they have, they do such a disservice to the general public promoting this crap.

I just wish these celebrities were just a bit more responsible with respect to what they endorse.

Rant over.
