Are You Still Believing These Diet Myths?
Supermodel Kate Moss once said, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” Meanwhile, Glenn Powell recently refused to eat bread. Oof. The internet thrives on our obsession with skinny. Spend five minutes on social media, and you’re beset by dudes so deprived of nutrients that they may be about to keel over. And yet still we fetishize their abs.
It all begs the question: Is there a healthy way to shed pounds quickly? A lot of diets have claimed so. Remember the 5:2 diet? Juice cleanses? The carnivore diet? Popularized by social media, each one promises to help you feel good on a beach — and in rapid time. But safety concerns aside, does any of it actually work?
“Some hacks might have a grain of truth, but most are overhyped or unsustainable,” says Uta Boellinger, BANT Registered Nutritionist. “Many can be dangerous, particularly when they promote rapid weight loss or extreme restriction.”
