Description: Abstract: Pros and cons of some popular weight reduction diets are presented in this 30-minute video program that is part of the Bodywatch series hosted by Dr. James Duke and American Health Magazine. Fad diets that have been popular in the U.S. since 1900 and reasons why American society is particularly susceptible to fad diet promises are explored. Two of the most popular recent diet plans, "Fit for Life" and "The Rotation Diet", are evaluated for their medical and nutritional merits. Evidence is presented concerning the as yet unproven effectiveness of fad diets. The correlation between obsessive dieting and behavioral changes associated with certain eating disorders is examined. Moderate caloric reductions and increases in physical activity are key components of any successful weight loss regimen. A "body sense tip" demonstrates proper food alignment and exercises to strengthen the feet and ankles.
