Have you ever seen the ads for all the various weight loss products? Just about ever one of them have before and after pictures to illustrate what their fad diet product will do for YOU based on the results that these people had. Of course, you usually don’t see the super fine print regarding the fact that most people’s results will vary and that the illustrated example is not typical. Duh!
Truth About Weight Loss Pictures
The truth is that most weight loss pictures are staged. Yeah, there are set up to help you see such awesome results that you will jump at buying the product. We even found a video that illustrates how this works. Watch this…
See what we mean? Not everything you see in a weight loss program is what it appears to be. We will go into that some more in tomorrow’s post. What are your thoughts on the pictures with diet ads?

How many of you have read the book series, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad“? In that book series, Robert Kiyosaki does a great job in comparing his friend’s dad who was a successful business man to his own dad who was a successful employee. If you haven’t read this book, it is one that every person should read to gain a basic understanding of their finances.
What Does Finances Have To Do With Weight Loss?
Good question. Since you know how much we love parodies of various things, we plan to do a parody related to weight loss and plan to call this special series, “Fat Dad, Thin Dad.” We will put a short video presentation of this together for you but wanted everyone to be aware that we are going to be launching it soon and it will become a weekly series on Fad Diet TV.
What’s Behind This TV Parody?
The reality of how to do this weight loss the right way while having a blast. Too often people focus on a restrictive diet which is totally boring and only going to make you fatter in the long run. Stop Dieting! It’s never been fun and never will be. You need a new approach. Something that will work for you long term.
What Other Feature Series Will Fad Diet TV Have?
We will continue to bring you funny videos we find on the Internet along with making fun of every diet program we can find. If one looks like it has promise, we will let you know. But if it don’t have the criteria we think it should, watch out.
Stay tuned for more coming details along with a possible new season line up. Hey, why not watch the fun here at Fad Diet TV.
Until next time…
No Food Diet

One of the most popular fad diets out there is the concept that you can lose weight by starving yourself. Yes, you can drop pounds using this method but usually this weight is not fat but muscle. Other challenges are that it slows down your body’s metabolism and then all bets are off. The biggest downside we have discovered with this approach to dieting is that many times it leads to anorexia.
Here is a great video that explains the No Food Diet and hopefully you can see the irony from this fad diet approach.
How many times have you tried this type of fad diet?
Here are the results that we have discovered using this no food diet. You lose weight quickly but about70% of the weight loss is fat. When you go back to normal eating habits, the weight comes back. However this time, my clothes don’t seem to fit the same way. The reason was that each time we did this cycle, we lost muscle and gain back fat with the same or more weight. Now my overall body fat is greater which makes my total body volume bigger even though I weigh the same.
Maybe We Should Call It The Quick Way To Fatness Diet
The final analysis for this fad diet approach - only do it if you want to wear larger clothes when you are done. Yes, you heard me right. This fad diet will just make you fatter than you currently are when all is said and done. This is why it is important not to measure your progress in weight but in inches. Who cares what you weigh when all you really want is to fit in that size 6 dress or those skinny jeans or just look good in your bathing suit.
What have your results been on the no food diet? Post your comments and share them.

Exercise and Diet
The two most overlooked items in weight loss today. However, when proper put together, they can be very effective. The biggest challenge is getting the right mix for your body. Most people think that they can just follow a standard program without any side effects. That is not always the case.
Check out today’s video. You never know what you might be up against when you go to the gym. That’s why I like to work out at home.
What about you? Have you ever experienced this for real at the gym?
I know I have as I was the person doing it. It seems when you make a drastic change in your eating habits, you body rebels in a big way. My challenge was I was attempting to qualify for the Naval Academy and I had a Commander in the Navy who was my Blue & Gold Officer holding my feet while I did as many sit ups as I could in 60 seconds. Yes, you guessed it. Every sit up was followed by a nice “toot”. After about ten sit ups, the Commander said, “Stop, I think you have passed this test.” Wonder why?
Exercise Tip of the Day
Here’s my tip…don’t let people hold your feet when doing a time trail for sit ups. It’s not a pretty picture and the holder my pass out as you set a new record.
What’s story do you have to share about your gym experience? Post it in the comments.
Until Next Time…
