Abstract

This paper reviewed the common types of fad diets. Fad diets have an effective role in promoting weight loss, beneficial effects on body composition. Fad diets may protect against the development of obesity and related chronic diseases such as type two diabetes and coronary heart disease. Fad diets work simply because they restrict calorie intake, showing that the most important dietary concept of weight loss and maintenance is a decrease in caloric intake. Based on the contemporary studies on fad diets, the future concept for successful weight loss could run on the concept of energy density, which refers to the amount of energy in a given weight of food.
