Diet Effects Fad

Fad diets work, and many celebrities present real-life examples of how effective such diets can be. The article "4 Day Diet Plans" features examples of successful weight-loss fad diets adopted by Curtis Jackson (50 Cent), Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé Knowles, and Christian Bale. Carolyn Strange references the rapid weight loss of Knowles in the WebMD article of 2008 "Can Fad Diets Work?"

Strange observes that "When singer Beyoncé Knowles needed to lose 22 pounds in a hurry for her role in the film Dreamgirls, she went on a crash diet that consisted of drinking a mixture of water, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup as a substitute for regular meals. She lost the weight..." Those impressed with Knowles' dramatic weight loss adopted the new fad, and the so-called Maple Syrup Diet became a new diet craze.

Fad Diet Practiced with Zeal

Fad is defined by Merriam Webster Student Dictionary as "a practice or interest followed for a short time with zeal: craze." In accordance with the definition, any eating plan or diet that is "followed for a short time with zeal," may be also be defined as a craze or fad. Dieters who are obsessed with losing weight for a special event often diet with zeal for a short period of time. The problem with incorporating such short-term zeal is that the weight-loss results are also short-term.
