Weight loss expert explains why fad diets don't work

A fitness coach has warned against fad diets and offered his top tips for helping people lose weight.

Former international bodybuilder John Kavanagh says it might be harder to lose weight if you're stressed and fad diets stress your body out. So if you’re still doing Veganuary, you might want to reconsider, especially if you haven’t done your research on how to have a balanced diet.

“Everybody will get a honeymoon period,” said John who is now the Managing Director of the luxurious gym New You in Dublin 2 which specialises in weight loss. “Go on into any diet in the world, intermittent fasting, vegan… you're gonna get stuff that you didn't get before and you could get good results for three months from it, and then it's gone.”
