We are your diet resource.
Every once in a while we all will to look into the mirror and pass harsh judgement on our bodies. You know, like in the Nelly song.. 'Girl, I think my butt gettin' big'. It is not an uncommon occurrence among even the most fit of people. Usually there is something else that is the root of the problem but it gets manifested into body issues.
 Unfortunately, many people panic at the first sight of a few extra pounds around their waist or thighs and look to a quick fix diet. This is no way to maintain a healthy weight. The quick fix is just that and it will most likely be a temporary patch to a bigger problem. Then the problem never really goes away. So, instead of getting on the newest latest diet fad, opt for a gradually weight loss program that focuses on eating healthy paired with moderate exercise. Exercising will release feel good hormones and help improve the body image we all have in our heads.
The lose '12 pounds in two weeks' diets are based mostly on losing water weight.
You are not really getting rid of body fat, rather your body is not retaining as much water as it was previously. Good diets take time and losing more than one or two pounds a week is never going to be fat loss. Remember, burning a pound of fat is burning 3500 calories more than our bodies consumed. There is no way you are under-consuming 35,000 in two weeks.
Bad diets makes it harder for to lose weight. Your metabolism will regulate itself if you are starving your body. Take it nice and easy, remember the story about the tortoise and the hare.
You need to eat the right kinds of food. You can fill yourself with empty calories or you can eat nutrient dense fruits and vegetables. The food you eat gives you the energy needed to exercise in order to burn fat and is used in repairing and building your body. You can't do much physical activity if you feel faint from walking up the stairs. Remember starvation is not a diet.
