Fad Diets can Kill!
Everything you read about diets should be "taken with agrain of salt". If something seems too good to be true, ornot plausible, seek other sources, or ask athttp://mayoclinic.com.You probably have heard about "anorexia", self-starvation, or "bulimia", binge eating followed by laxatives and/orinduced vomiting. These disorders often affect femaleswith poor self image. Death can result.You might not realize that some fad diets are also deadlyto health or to life. Any diet that focuses on just a fewfoods, or mostly water or juices, except under personalmedical supervision, can damage critical organs and nervetissues beyond repair.
Don't willfully make yourself intoa starvation victim.Be cautious when reading about such things as "macrobiotic"diets. "Macrobiotic" is a combination of two words, createdto mean great / long life achieved through diet of whole grains, vegetables, beans, limited quantities of animal foods. Some fanatics have taken this to mean nothing but grains and water. The "brown rice diet" is an example thathas caused deaths.Don't expect "the grapefruit diet" to do much more than supply you with a lot of vitamin C. You had better continueeating proteins, fruits, vegetables, fiber foods.As I wrote in my diet eBook,If calories burned are more / less than calories ingested,weight will be lost / gained.
Physics can NOT be turned off.By the way, as you can read on their web site, posted August 22, 2003,"Mayo Clinic diet: It doesn't exist.A number of so-called "Mayo Clinic diets" have surfaced over the years. None of these originated at or are endorsed by Mayo Clinic."******************************************* Diet with FACTS, not Fat-Burner MYTHS. *******************************************For more pages in this health series, send blank email to snips@easyhealthdiet.com.

Healthy Choices For Your Life
How you live your life is truely a self choice. And there are so many choices to make. We are bombarded from every side about what we should do, what we should eat, that we should get a certain amount of exercise, that we should believe a certain way, that we should use this product or that product.
