Effective Approach to Weight Loss

Diets do not work. Crash diets reduce your metabolism, cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and can lead to serious health problems. Much of the weight lost on these diets is water and muscle tissue, not fat. To make matters worse, when you quit your diet (which will certainly happen since they aren't sustainable) you will probably gain more weight than you lost. In the end, you weigh more, your metabolism is lower, and your self-confidence is shaken.
