There are many diets. Some are wonderful, but others only keep weight off for short times and have high health risks.

Fad diets do not contain enough nutrients that you need to survive. They may cut out nutrients or sometimes even complete food groups, but they always promise weight loss miracles. Many fad diet recommendations are based on single studies, or sometimes none at all. Fad diets usually guarantee that you will lose weight at a fast or unrealistic pace. They also usually sound far too good to be true.

Most fad diets have factors that fuel their popularity. These are usually celebrity endorsements and promises of quick weight loss. These may not always be present, but almost always there will be either peer pressure or the “elimination” mentality. The “elimination” mentality is the idea that cutting out certain foods will result in quick weight loss.

Many fad diets only work for short periods of time. These usually cause you to drop pounds due to the possible unhealthy calorie reductions or only water weight loss.

People who are on medication or have health concerns need to be especially careful with fad diets and should talk to a doctor before trying a new diet. There are also psychological consequences to fad diets. losing weight quickly without meeting nutritional needs can lead to regaining weight quickly if you eat the same ways as before you dieted and ultimately, weight cycling.

These diets usually set the individual up for failure. If the diet fails, the dieter may blame themselves and become hopeless that they will be unable to lose weight.

If you are concerned that a weight loss plan may be a fad diet, research- look for scientific evidence behind the diet’s claim. An even better solution is to consult a nutritionist or dietitian to create a realistic diet that will be effective for you.

‘Out, Out–‘
BY ROBERT FROST
The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard
And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,
Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.
And from there those that lifted eyes could count
Five mountain ranges one behind the other
Under the sunset far into Vermont.
And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
As it ran light, or had to bear a load.
And nothing happened: day was all but done.
Call it a day, I wish they might have said
To please the boy by giving him the half hour
That a boy counts so much when saved from work.
His sister stood beside him in her apron
To tell them ‘Supper.’ At the word, the saw,
As if to prove saws know what supper meant,
Leaped out at the boy’s hand, or seemed to leap—
He must have given the hand. However it was,
Neither refused the meeting. But the hand!
The boy’s first outcry was a rueful laugh,
As he swung toward them holding up the hand
Half in appeal, but half as if to keep
The life from spilling. Then the boy saw all—
Since he was old enough to know, big boy
Doing a man’s work, though a child at heart—
He saw all was spoiled. ‘Don’t let him cut my hand off—
The doctor, when he comes. Don’t let him, sister!’
So. But the hand was gone already.
The doctor put him in the dark of ether.
He lay and puffed his lips out with his breath.
And then—the watcher at his pulse took fright.
No one believed. They listened to his heart.
Little—less—nothing!—and that ended it.
No more to build on there. And they, since they
Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.

Response:

I think Robert frost was using personification to make the saw seem like an animal. He was trying to make you see that the saw can hurt somebody if not used by the right person. I believe that the family moved on because they couldn’t do anything to bring the child back.. I think he was saying to be cautious.
