One of my pet hates is seeing “miracle weight loss pills” getting flogged online. So you can imagine my surprise when I discovered I was selling them one day.
“When someone steals your identity and uses it to sell weight loss products, there is very little you can do.” I went through a bizarre range of emotions, but my own annoyance and irritation was nothing compared to the anxiety and anger felt by the people who emailed me. Accredited dietitian Linda Cumines tells me: “It doesn’t actually make sense. How can adding ketones make you burn fat even more? It’s your body that’s got to produce the ketones to reduce weight.” Instead, your body uses the pills as its energy source and leaves your stored fat exactly where it is.
Popular diets are designed to lure people in with all kinds of exotic vegetables, “superfoods” and timed eating rituals, but Noble stressed fad diets are not a long-term plan for sustained health, but a shorter-term tool for rapid weight loss in response to the societal pressure to look thin. Some of the more well-known ones include the keto diet, but also the Paleo, Atkins and intermittent fasting diets. Some diets have a bit more staying power.
