Fad Diets

This supernatural diet plan claims to help followers drop up to six pounds in 24 hours but, if you’re looking for sustainable weight loss, you may be barking — or howling — up the wrong tree. This diet claims that fasting on a new or full moon will lead to drastic weight loss due to the effects of the moon’s gravitational pull on the body. While weight loss is possible through fasting, it’s important to remember that the body is made up of about 60 percent water. That means most of the weight you’ll lose with this diet will likely be water, which will be gained back when you start eating again. For the best way to lose weight, forget the werewolves and practice common sense.
