Why am I unable to lose weight after taking the fad diets? The reason is because losing weight and going on a fad diet are not in any way related. This myth is usually propagated by many fitness gurus and that is why many people consider it to be true. The reason why you are not able to lose weight after going on this fad diets is because they cause the body to go into starvation mode.
The fad diets are usually calorie restrictive and when the body is not supplied with adequate calories it naturally goes into starvation mode. When the body goes into starvation mode it will start burning muscles instead of fat because it wants to conserve energy. You will thus experience an increase in body fat and a decrease in body muscles. When you lose body muscles your body metabolism will also decrease. When your metabolism decreases you will not be able to burn a lot of calories and thus you will increase your weight.
The other reason why such diets rarely work is because they force you to undergo self deprivation. This is not a good approach because is never able to withstand self deprivation. When you go on such diets you will not last long before you go back to your old habits.
The other reason why fad diets never work is because they are only short term solutions. If you want a long term solution you need to weight train.
