Why do people believe in fad diets created by unreliable sources?

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

There’s so many people who will come up with supplements or diet books and they aren’t even Nutritionists or Registered Dietitians. Then consumers fall for them without even researching their credibility or how reliable the information is. There’s so many unhealthy fad diets out there it’s insane. I’m a nutrition student and one of my textbooks even mentions a story about a guy who wanted to prove how easy it is for someone to get the title "dietitian" or "Dr." without going to school. He just filled out an application for his cat (basically the cat’s name) and now his cat Charlie has "professional credentials."

Now I’m not saying fad diets never work…i’m just saying many are unhealthy or just unncessary for weight loss. Are people ever gonna use common sense and just eat healthy without using a fad diet to lose weight?

Why do people need to follow fad diets?
