  It seems that fad diets are targeting the growing demand for products that meet the needs and wants of customers immediately with little to no regard for long-term impact. The growing number of people looking for quick results, has led to a multitude of fad diets that lack nutrition and foresight. The high-protein low-carbohydrate diet is a clear example of this blatant negligence; the diet demands of the user a diet consisting of large quantities of protein which leads to excessive production of nitrogen which can cause permanent damage to vital organs. This excessive nitrogen can damage the kidneys and lead to increased production of uric acid which can result in Kidney stones and gout. Furthermore, following completion of the diet patients are more susceptible to regaining any weight lost due to ketosis a process of the body storing fats to endure the next period of carbohydrate starvation. Other diets such as the Sugar Buster's Diet, Eat Right for Your Type diet and Zone Diet all have similar disastrous effects, they all focus on a low-calorie intake and all offer very little in dietary variation leading to a limitation in fundamental vitamins and minerals.
  With people's lives seemingly growing in complexity and a more career driven population more people are turning to these fad diets for quick results, trying to lose weight through conventional means of a clean and healthy diet, alongside regular exercise is a difficult task to maintain for people who cannot afford the time or the economic commitment. These diets create a vicious cycle in where someone who is obese finds it difficult to exercise and thus chooses an easier more comfortable diet that doesn't stray too far from the foods they are comfortable eating, but in consequence leads to an increased susceptibility of weight increase in the future.
