The Paleo. The Zone. The
Gluten-free. Another day, another diet. We’re caught in a
never-ending merry-go-round of weight loss plans, fueled by celebrity
endorsers, TV doctors and companies angling for a piece of a $60
billion industry. But do these diets really work? And how healthy
are they?
Registered Dietitian
Lisa Tillinger Johansen examines dozens of the most wildly popular
diets based on medical facts, not hype. And along the way, she

Book Excerpt:
The
idea for this book began at a wedding.
Who
doesn’t love a good wedding? The clothes, the flowers, the romance,
the food…
Ah,
the food. As we moved into the banquet hall, the culinary feast was
on everyone’s minds. It was all anyone seemed talk about. But for
some reason, guests weren’t conversing about the dishes being
served; they were swapping stories of diets they had heard about from
friends, magazine articles, even celebrities on talk shows.
I’m
a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutritional
science and years of clinical and health education experience. I’ve
counseled thousands of patients and clients on all of these diets.
But hearing the guests only momentarily distracted me from my
horrible faux pas of wearing white (gasp!) to a friend’s wedding.
“I’m
on the Blood Type Diet,” said a woman with an impossibly high
bouffant hairdo. “You’ve heard of that, haven’t you? It’s the
one where you choose your foods based on your blood type. I’m an
AB, so I’ll be having the fish.”
“Really?”
her friend replied. “I swear by
the gluten-free diet. I’m on it, my daughter’s on it, and my
granddaughter’s on it.”
I
happened to know her granddaughter was six and didn’t have a gluten
sensitivity or celiac disease.
Then
there was the stocky guy who was trying to impress one of the
bridesmaids. “I’m a paleo man myself,” he said, piling his
plate high with beef kebabs. “It gives me more stamina, know what I
mean? It puts me in touch with my inner caveman. There’s a
restaurant near my apartment that’s paleo friendly. Maybe we can
grab a bite there sometime, or…Hey wait, where are you going?”
And
there were three Weight Watchers sisters who typed furiously on their
phones and argued over their meals’ point values. Apparently there
was some discrepancy between their various apps, and the sisters’
discussion was becoming more heated by the moment.
I’m
past the point of being surprised by the wide range of weight-loss
strategies—
some worthless, some
crazy, some quite reasonable—being tossed around. In the past few
years, there has been a tidal wave of diets washing up on the shores
of our nutritional consciousness. Celebrities prance across our
screens, promoting a variety of weight-loss schemes on talk shows and
infomercials. Medical doctors star in their own syndicated television
programs, exposing millions to weight-loss techniques, often
unsupported by medical research. Other diets get traction on the
Internet, racing all over the globe in social media posts, YouTube
videos, and annoying spam e-mails. It’s hard to walk past a
shopping center vitamin store without being approached by salespeople
trying to pitch the latest weight-loss supplements. It seems that
everyone wants a piece of the pie; the American diet industry tops
$60 billion annually.
It’s
classic information overload. You can’t blame people for being
confused by all the diets out there, even as crazy as some of them
may sound. I didn’t speak up to my fellow wedding guests that day,
but it occurred to me they would benefit from some hard facts about
the diets they so ardently follow.
So
during the toasts, I thought to myself, I
should write a book.
I
counsel clients on these matters each week, giving them information
they need to make the best choices for their health and waistlines. I
find that all too often there’s nothing
to the diets that are presented to me in
my counseling sessions and classes. They just plain don’t work,
particularly over the long term. And some of them are harmful, even
potentially lethal. But it’s also unhealthy to carry extra weight
on our frames. So how do we separate good diets from the bad?
In
the chapters to come, we’ll take a good, hard look at the various
weight-loss plans out there. I’ll pull no punches in my
professional evaluation of some of the most wildly popular diets,
both bad and good, of the past few years. And along the way, I’ll
explore tried-and-true strategies for losing weight, based on my
years of hospital experience, weight-loss seminars, and community
outreach efforts. More often than not, the best answer is not a
trendy celebrity-endorsed diet, but instead a few easy-to-follow
guidelines that I’ve seen work in literally thousands of cases.
Enough
is enough. It’s time for the madness—and the diets—to stop.
INTRODUCTION
“The
food here is terrible…And the portions are so small!”
—Writer/director
Woody Allen
The
idea for this book began at a wedding.
Who
doesn’t love a good wedding? The clothes, the flowers, the romance,
the food…
Ah,
the food. As we moved into the banquet hall for the reception, the
culinary feast was on everyone’s minds. It was all anyone seemed

Celebrities prance across our screens, promoting a variety of

ONE
Dieting…Who
Hasn’t?
“I
feel like banging my head against the wall when I am asked what I
think about the HCG Diet, Grapefruit Diet, or the Atkins Diet. Have
we become so naïve as to believe that taking some homeopathic HCG
drops will fix 20 years of poor eating? The sales say we have.”
—Josh
Hodnik, staff
writer for VPX sports and Muscle
Evolution
Holy
cow, I’m fat! I’ve turned into a completely out-of-shape blob.
I’m standing here looking in the mirror, and some stranger is
staring back at me. Surely that’s not me. Maybe if I put my glasses
on…No, I’m still the same tub of lard. Bummer.
I
don’t know how this happened, or maybe I do a little bit. But it
just doesn’t seem possible. I feel like just yesterday I was slim
and trim, but now I can’t button my pants. Aha, now I know why I’ve
become so fond of stretch pants, baggy shirts, and sweaters…and
Spanx.
This
weight crept up on me, and now no matter what I do I can’t get rid
of it. I don’t feel good about myself or like the way I look. And I
think my health may be suffering because of it. I’m so depressed. I
think I’m just going to go eat cake.
Sound
familiar? Could that be you talking? If it is, join the club. A club,
by the way, with many members. It’s ever expanding. For some of us,
this may be a scary first experience. You’ve been at a healthy
weight all of your life…until now. Or you’ve had to watch what
you eat, but still managed to maintain a comfortable weight. For
others, this isn’t your first go-round with this type of self-talk.
There are many of us who’ve been up and down this path more than
once. You might be in that vicious circle we like to call “yo-yo”
dieting (a dieter’s carousel, if you will)—repeated weight loss
through dieting followed by a regain of the pounds lost. A 2012 study
found the following:
•
26 percent of dieters in the United
States adhered to their diets for
less than a month
•
36 percent followed theirs for a
period of one to six months
•
11 percent stuck to their diets for
seven months to a year
•
Only 27 percent stayed the course on
their diet plans for over a year
And
it’s not a surprise that almost 40 percent of Americans make their
New Year’s resolution about weight. And it’s not shocking that
only 8 percent keep it.
Weighty
Matters
Dieting. It’s almost easier to count
those who haven’t
been
on a weight-loss regimen sometime in their life than those who have.
Have you ever gone on a diet? How about two, three, four, five, or
more? I know that more than a few of you are nodding your heads
vigorously. Or perhaps you’re shaking your head in frustration.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
The word diet
means more than just what we do to lose weight. It also refers to
what we eat and drink every day. It includes a prescribed diet, such
as what a doctor or dietitian recommends for someone with, for
example, diabetes or hypertension. We’ll talk about all of these
definitions in this book.
Just
because I’m a dietitian doesn’t mean I’m not human. I come from
a family where many of us struggle to maintain a healthy weight. It
definitely takes work for me to do so. And as I’ve aged, it has
become harder. If I’m not diligent, I seem to expand almost
overnight.
So,
I’m in the weight management game with all of you. I know how you
feel and the questions, challenges, and concerns you face. And with a
master’s degree in nutritional science and my licensure and
experience as a registered dietitian, I know what works. I can help
you.
Recently
I had quite the unpleasant shock. I have a doctor’s scale at home.
The weights weren’t set correctly, and I thought I weighed seven
pounds less than I actually did. Ouch! I knew my clothes were a bit
snug, but I’d chalked it up to a combination of temporary bloating
and shrinking clothes. If only…
Weight-loss
plans and diet products are a huge business in the United States. In
2012, Americans spent approximately $60 billion in their quest to
lose pounds. Yes, you read it correctly. We spend a lot of dough in
our effort to avoid being doughy. And over half of Americans (63
percent of females and 48 percent of males) would rather lose $1,000
of their own money than gain twenty pounds.
The
desire to lose pounds and maintain a healthy weight isn’t a bad
idea. In fact, it’s a really good one. But we don’t always choose
the best route to achieve this often elusive goal. Consequently, many
of us are unsuccessful in our weight-loss attempts. Let’s look at
some statistics:
Three in
ten Americans (25 percent of males and 32 percent of females) are
currently trying to lose weight. About 55 percent of males have
attempted to lose weight an average of four times each, while 73
percent of females have tried to shed pounds on average around seven
separate times.
A 2011
Gallup poll reported that about 52 percent of all US adults were
successful at losing weight sometime in their life.
In
Britain, the average forty-five-year-old has already been on
sixty-one diets.
And
while 62 percent of Canadians in one survey reported losing five or
more pounds over a five-year period, most didn’t maintain it; 70
percent of those who were overweight or obese gained back all, or
sometimes more, of the pounds they shed after their initial weight
loss.
So
many of us go round and round on the diet wheel. Do you remember when
you weren’t on a diet? Has it become a way of life for you? And how
many different diets have you tried? Are you already looking for the
next new thing? Perhaps you’re one of the 35 percent of “occasional
dieters” who move on to what’s been termed “pathological
dieting,” or disordered eating. If that’s you, aren’t you tired
of it?
There
are certainly good reasons to lose weight. Carrying too much weight
on our frames isn’t healthy, but that’s not stopping a lot of us
from packing on the pounds. Obesity is also a negative trend we’re
seeing around the globe. The highest rates are in Oceania and the
Middle East. Oh, and in the United States two-thirds of us are
overweight or obese. It’s a very dubious distinction. Here are the
top-ten heaviest countries in the world, based on their 2013
overweight and obesity rates:
#1
American Samoa (94 percent)
#2
Kiribati, Central Pacific (82 percent)
#3
French Polynesia (74 percent)
#4
Saudi Arabia (73 percent)
#5
Panama (67.4 percent)
#6
United States (66.9 percent)
#7
Germany (66.5 percent)
#8
Egypt (66 percent)
#9
Kuwait (64 percent)
#10
Bosnia and Herzegovina (63 percent)
Kudos
to the eight countries in Asia that have the lowest worldwide obesity
rates. They are Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, China, Japan, South Korea,
the Philippines, and Singapore.
The
obesity epidemic is a problem that must be dealt with. In 2013, the
American Medical Association (AMA) took a major step by labeling
obesity as a disease. While this brought on some controversy, it
should result in a change in how health care providers look at and
treat obesity in individuals. That’s a good thing.
Fad
or Fallacy
Carrying
extra body weight can be quite bad for our health. It puts us at risk
for a variety of diseases such as prediabetes, diabetes,
hypertension, high cholesterol, joint problems, heart disease, sleep
apnea, certain cancers, and more. Who wants that?
So
what do so many of us do to combat our expanding girths? We go on a
diet, often one that would be termed a “fad” diet. And we’ve
been doing this for a lot longer than you might think.
Fad
diets go back to at least 1087 when William the Conqueror came up
with the alcohol-only diet. What was he thinking? Maybe he was too
drunk to construct a more balanced one. Not surprisingly, this diet
didn’t work out for William. He died a year later after actually
gaining weight.
The
fad diet as we know it today arrived on the scene in the nineteenth
century, when Sylvester Graham came up with the Graham diet. It
focused on caffeine-free beverages and vegetarian meals. Not a bad
idea, but it gets a bit weird. Part of the diet actually included
eating graham crackers (go figure), as not only a way to assist in
weight loss, but also to inhibit masturbation and the supposed
blindness it caused. I’m not making this up.
In
1876, Englishman William Banting introduced the low-carbohydrate
diet. A lot of us are familiar with this one. He lost fifty pounds
with his plan and wrote the Letter
on Corpulence
discussing it. His weight-loss plan became so popular that in Britain
the word banting
became synonymous for dieting. A later version of this, the Atkins
diet, would become very popular and is still being followed today.
Other early fad
diets included Horace Fletcher’s Great Masticator diet, which in
1903 suggested people chew their food thirty-two times. After doing
this, they weren’t to swallow it, but had to spit it out. That was
certainly a low-calorie diet. And a lot of work for nothing.
The year 1928 gave
us the Inuit diet, where followers could choose between eating either
meat or the fat from it. Not both. There was also the
bananas-and-skim-milk diet. And as recently as the late 1960s, Herman
Taller, MD, advanced the “Calories Don’t Count” diet. Before
you embrace this concept, read on. It involved eating whatever you
wanted and not worrying about quantity. The important aspect of this
diet was that after you ate, you drank vegetable oil as a kind of
chaser. Yuck. I’m sure that worked out well.
There are a lot of
diets out there. Some are good. Many aren’t. I’ll talk about a
lot of them throughout this book. I’ll be your guide to choosing a
healthy eating path and will give you the tools to navigate it. What
I won’t do is steer you toward a fad diet. In fact, I recommend you
turn your back on them.
Fad
diets are temporary and can be unhealthy. Very often they’re
restrictive. And many times they are, let’s face it, a bit crazy.
People
are drawn to fad diets because of the allure of quick results, which
they sometimes deliver. But typically the weight loss can’t be
sustained long term. We’re then faced with the disappointment and
adverse health effects of reverting back to our prior weights. Or
perhaps we may carry a heavier burden…on our bodies.
Close
to 60 percent of adults in the United States want to shed at least
twenty pounds.
It
would be fantastic if we’d go to sleep one night and wake up the
next day twenty pounds lighter. That’s a good dream. But it’s not
realistic. So many of us want it to be true, and we try a lot of
weight-loss programs with the hope that we’ll be proven right.
Optimism is high at the beginning. Some do have success that’s
maintained in the long term. Most don’t.
Fad
diets can be very difficult to adhere to for life. Even following
them for months can be hard. We can also suffer ill effects from them
such as headaches, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, nutritional
deficiencies, hair loss, weakness, dizziness, fatigue, bad breath,
loss of muscle, and more. Not fun.
Diets
also affect the diseases we have. People with diabetes, kidney
disease, and other conditions need to take care that these diets
don’t aggravate their conditions. More about health risks will be
discussed in chapters to come.
Here’s
a crucial question: What’s a fad diet? Some are easier than others
to spot. Let’s review some of their characteristics:
They
promise a quick result.
Statements
are made about them that seem too good to be true or realistic.
Simple
conclusions are taken from involved studies.
They
take information from studies that haven’t been peer reviewed.
(Peer review and duplication of results is an important aspect of
drawing reliable conclusions.)
Statements
of fact may be based on only one study. Again, results need to be
tested and replicated to determine their quality.
They
rely on studies that don’t have a large research group, or use
those that look at only one segment of the population, such as
African American males between the ages of thirty and forty-five or
Caucasian women ages sixty-five to eighty.
Assertions
are made that highly regarded medical- and science-based
organizations refute.
Their
statements or recommendations are used to try to sell us their
products.
They
promote “special elixir” type foods or specific food
combinations.
They
suggest that food can affect body chemistry.
Foods
are identified as either “bad” or “good.”
They
eliminate foods or food groups.
Do
any of these ring a bell? Have you researched or tried a diet with
one or more of the above characteristics? Who’s nodding? Here are
some of the fad diets you might’ve explored:
3-Day

Apple-cider-vinegar

Beverly

My
husband is on the brown diet. It’s a simple one. If it’s brown,
he eats it. This isn’t healthy, as it’s filled with items like
fried chicken, french fries, and pizza. He’s getting better,
though. I got him to get rid of the fryer he had in his bachelor
days. But he’s still a work in progress.
The
online pharmacy UKMedix.com found that 71 percent of women had tried
a fad diet. Here’s the breakdown of the diets they tried:
Laxatives:
47 percent
Fasting: 45
percent
Cabbage soup
diet: 39 percent
Liquid diet: 35
percent
Body wraps: 29
percent
Cereal diet: 26
percent
Baby food diet:
26 percent
Raw food diet:
24 percent
Small plates:
18 percent
Eating foods
known to make you sick: 14 percent
I
question more than a few of these diets. Do you? If not, you should.
It’s
Not a Clique, It’s a Group
Restrictive,
low-calorie, and other types of fad diets aren’t only challenging
to follow, they can also be nutritionally unbalanced. For example,
cutting out entire food groups or a significant portion of them may
result in not getting adequate calories, vitamins, minerals, and
more. Or we may get an overabundance of something. This can cause
health issues for some, like potential kidney problems from excessive
protein. Too little or too much of something isn’t a good thing.
Our bodies like balance.
Protein,
fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and healthy fats should all have a
place in our diets. Our bodies use all of these for a variety of
things. Making the more nutritious choices out of these groups is, of
course, important. And each of them does have healthy members. When
we cut out a food group or a significant part of it, we’re
short-changing ourselves. We’ll talk more about the food groups
later on.
Knowledge
Is Power
Another
key component of weight loss and maintenance is gaining the tools we
need to manage our eating for life. It requires knowledge and
behavior change. The former isn’t likely difficult for most of us,
although there are a lot of less credible sources out there. The
latter can be a seemingly impossible task. This book will help you
tackle both.
We’re
so lucky to live in a day and age in which books, magazines,
journals, newspapers, websites, blogs, and more are so readily
available and abundant. The Internet has expanded our horizons and
our learning ability to such an amazing degree. Practically any
information we want or need is just a keystroke away. But we must
make sure that what we’re reading, even relying on, is quality and
expert.
When
I first went to college back in the day, personal computers didn’t
exist. I know, can you imagine? All research had to be done at the
library. And we had to use card catalogues to find our material. It
was slow going.
I’ve
thought about this often while writing my books. It’s certainly
quick to tap into my own knowledge, which I do extensively. But when
I want to look something up, I’m happy that it’s easy and
convenient to find.
When
looking for nutrition information on the web, I recommend perusing
the sites that you know are science-based. Medical and government
websites such as mayoclinic.com
and cdc.gov
are reputable. So are sites like eatright.org
and choosemyplate.gov.
You can also go to registered dietitian sites like mine at
consultthedietitian.com.
You have a question? I’ll answer it. For other online sources,
please review the Appendix for more sites that I like and trust.
Experts
in the field can be great sources. Registered dietitians are a
fantastic go-to for information about nutrition. But there are so
many other people out there, including celebrities, who have their
own diet plans or champion them. It’s important to note that these
people often don’t have the training necessary to assess and
recommend an appropriate diet plan. Tread lightly there. Designations
like RD, RDN, RN, and MD signify experts in health care, including
diet and nutrition.
In
Britain, 47 percent of people who are watching their weight will try
a diet because a celebrity is on it.
I
counsel many people each year regarding a variety of health issues,
including weight management, prediabetes, diabetes, high cholesterol,
hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, and more.
Many of them are well-versed in self-care and have solid facts and
plans to achieve and maintain good health. Others could use some
help.
Television
shows, magazines, books, our families, friends, neighbors, coworkers,
personal trainers, vitamin store personnel, and others often share
advice. Many of us take that and run with it. Sometimes we shouldn’t.
It’s
essential that we use a filter and common sense when sorting through
the barrage of information that comes our way. If it sounds too good
to be true, it most likely is. The promise of five pounds of weight
loss in several days or ten pounds in one week, for example, isn’t
healthy or advisable. It’s tempting, I know. But in this case, slow
and steady wins the race.
What
do you need to get started on a healthy eating plan for you? A great
beginning is to understand the pros and cons of all the major diet
plans out there. Having reliable facts and figures, determining your
desire and willingness to change, and setting some goals are
important. Knowing recommended portion sizes and the balance of the
food groups is essential. The contribution of physical activity and
the effectiveness of using measuring and benchmark tools help round
out a powerful weight-management arsenal. I can help you with all of
these, and there’s no time like the present. It’s time to stop
the diet and get on with a long-term eating plan for life.
So
let’s get off the dieting merry-go-round. Our healthy weight lies
ahead.
