So many of our patients have tried fad diets that claim they will lose weight fast, but they end up gaining all the weight they lost back, and often even more.
New York Bariatric Group patient, Colleen remembers what life was like before she lost 127 pounds with long-term weight-loss surgery. “I tried to lose weight in various different ways. I tried diet pills. I've tried shots. I've tried exercise, meal routines. Nothing seemed to be successful.”
Before losing 240 pounds following his bariatric surgery Rob tried every diet he could. “I always tried different diets, different programs, meal supplements, all that. Over the last couple of years the weight got worse, my health got worse.”
Fad Diet, False Claims
Fad diets may also play a role in weight cycling—the pattern of losing and regaining weight can increase the risk of obesity. Even if you lose pounds quickly like the weight-loss program promises, the diet itself will likely be hard to sustain. Researchers found that some individuals with initial success with commercial diets gained at least half the weight back within just two years.
Fad Diet Dangers
The Federal Trade Commission warns that claims that you can lose weight without changing your eating and exercise habits just aren’t true. They also add that some fad diet weight loss products could even hurt your health. They recommend watching out for false promises often seen in weight loss ads.

The FDA published an alarming report that it has found weight loss products that contain dangerous drugs or chemicals not listed on the labels that can be harmful to a person's health. Some of the ingredients can pose a serious risk of drug interactions with a person’s current medication.
