Fad reducing diets: separating fads from facts

G L Blackburn et al. ASDC J Dent Child. 1984 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Generally, it is wise to stay away from any crash diet. All tend to be nutritionally unbalanced. Although all may cause great temporary weight losses in short periods of time, over the long term, the only thing they accomplish is the addition of another cycle of frustration and disappointment for the dieter.
