The reason panic diets won't ever work

The first thing I'm going to say is if you see any 'diet' which claims to help you 'lose fat fast', then run a mile. Trust me, anything which is fast will mean restrictive which also means temporary Quick fixes aren't quick.

If you do a quick fix for January (powders, shakes, juices, fasting, whatever), you will eat a very low amount of calories. Hold on, I hear you say, less is more, right? It isn't. You'll be hungry all the time so you'll think it's working (it isn't). You climb on the scales and your weight is plummeting like a stone, that's brilliant, right? (it isn't).
