Fujii recently explained, "It's practically criminal what some of the dangerous fad diets do to a person's metabolism. Yes, they help you lose weight fast, initially. But they can absolutely destroy a metabolism and cause dieters to gain much more weight back."
Fujii believes in a much more sensible approach to help people lose weight fast. "You don't need a dangerous fad diet to lose weight fast. You can achieve rapid fat loss in a very safe and healthy manner when the correct approach is taken."
“My first key to help you instantly recognize a dangerous fad diet is what I call the ‘one ingredient diet’,” Fujii says. According to Fujii, “Any diet that preaches eating only one ingredient - such as ice cream or grapefriut - for an extended period of time can be classified immediately as a dangerous fad diet.”
Fujii’s second key to help you identify a dangerous fad diet is fasting. “A ‘lose weight fast’ program that advises extended periods of fasting should be avoided at all costs.” Fujii explains, "Very simply, not eating will wreak havoc on a anyone's metabolism. Not eating is potentially the worst thing someone looking to lose weight fast should do."
“Let common sense prevail when it comes to investigating a fad diet. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” Fujii adds as his third and final tip.
Additionally, remember to enlist the advice of a qualified nutritionist or health professional when attempting to lose weight fast.
