I get it! Some people get frustrated when they can't find a way to lose weight so they do almost anything. While some may try and do so by simply eating better, a lot of us resort to fad diets and the latest trends to make that happen, and it’s costing us money.
A new survey finds:
- Half of Americans say they followed a fad diet that wound up doing more harm than good.
- Only 32% of folks say a diet trend “often” helps them reach their goal.
- 90% of those who try nutrition trends say they’ve spent, on average, $158 on products that didn’t work, or didn’t help them reach their desired result.
- That could translate in more than $9,000 over a lifetime.
So, what are the most popular nutrition trends folks have tried. Well, they include:
- Drinking celery juice (79%)
- “Clean” eating (78%)
- Weight-loss tea (78%)
- Gummy vitamins (76%)
- Weight-loss supplements (76%)
- Personalized vitamins (75%)
- CBD products (75%)
- Vitamin IV drips (70%)
- Blood-type diet (69%)
- Personalized/DNA-based nutrition (68%)
Here's another way to look at fad diets as well. Do you see yourself doing the fad diet in a month, 3 months, 6 months down the road? That may be the answer to your question.
