Food Lover’s Diet

So you’ve found the ultimate diet, the diet that finally meets all of your wants AND needs in one! The Food Lover’s Diet appeals to the average American, because it doesn’t require you to focus on fruits and vegetables.

Moreover, unlike “French women don’t get fat”, it doesn’t require you to control your portion size of practice any kind of calorie control. What changes do you make?

Focus on Potato Chips

Low carb diets cut out carbs in general. But even the looser low carb diets still require you to cut back on the purely sugar based carbs, breads, pastas, etc. Food Lover’s Diet actually encourages you to combine these carbs (potatoes) with fat (butter) in order to “turn on your body’s fat burning mechanisms.” Since when does anybody eat potato chips or focus on butter to lose weight!

Get a Scoop of Protein in Your Starbucks

First of all, last I checked, Starbucks doesn’t offer “extra” scoops of protein. Actually, Starbucks doesn’t offer any protein, unless you count the soy milk, which isn’t particularly concentrated. But according to Ferguson, maker of Food Lover’s Diet, this protein will help you to put your body into fat burning overdrive, burning off up to 300 calories! The average Starbucks latte is a lot more than 300 calories, and frankly, protein does not actually burn fat. Protein protects the muscles, and it can therefore improve workouts and help you to maintain a better metabolism.

Exercise is Nice, But Unnecessary

Again, this is sketchy at best. Every single expert says that you cannot really lose weight without proper diet AND exercise. Any diet that says that you don’t have to exercise or downplays its importance is more likely to be a scam than most others. But then again, didn’t we already know that Food Lover’s Diet is a scam?

The End Story

Food Lover’s Diet promises a lot of things that it simply cannot come through on. There’s no way to eat nothing but fast food and get the nutrients that your body needs, let alone to lose weight. Why else would Food Lover’s Diet say that it’s just so hard to get all of the nutrients your body needs if you are eating the recommended 1500 calories a day (sometimes about 1200 calories a day). I know it sounds appealing. But sometimes, you have to be prepared to take a realistic approach to dieting and accept that there is going to be some sacrifice and you are going to have to make changes.
