Detailed explanation-1: -Fad diets are generally restrictive, and are characterized by promises of fast weight loss or great physical health (notably by “detoxification"), and which are not grounded in sound science. Some fad diets, such as diets purporting to be alternative cancer treatments, promise health benefits other than weight loss.
Detailed explanation-2: -Starch, sugar, grains, beans/legumes, starchy fruits and even starchy vegetables are generally cut out of the diet while very low carbohydrate or ketogenic diets are more restrictive, including lower protein but allowing higher fat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fad diets target fiber, lean muscle, and water weight loss. This type of weight loss causes deficiencies to nutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Additionally, fad diets often focus on only caloric intake, but do not emphasize the importance of exercise and healthy lifestyle choices.
