Many popular fad diets are nutrient deficient diets marketed to overweight and obese people with one or more chronic diseases.
Nutrient packed balanced diets like Mediterranean and DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) have been around for decades and in some cases millennia. They do not generate as much publicity or interest because they are not rapid weight loss diets. By eating a diet providing the nutrients your body needs, one can lose excess weight and keep it off.
