                                According to nutrition experts, a staggering 45 million Americans go on a diet each year, with many falling prey to temporary, restrictive plans known by another name: a fad diet. These trendy approaches promise rapid weight loss but often fail to deliver lasting results, relying instead on extreme measures that are hard to sustain and potentially harmful to health.
