As a personal trainer for the United States military, I have seen so many different dieting concepts over the years. The biggest problem with the large majority of these diets is that they are only capable of short term results, because they don’t take into consideration the different hormones and chemicals currently in the body, and the ones that are needed for different processes in the body, including those required for metabolism.

Some of the biggest flawed diets that I have seen include the ones that are focused on high protein levels, low carbohydrates, and the so called ’starvation diets’. These diets are just unrealistic and result in a major loss in muscle mass, which results in a quick weight reduction, but increases weight gain over time as the body loses it’s capability to burn calories on it’s own. These diets almost always reduce the bodies natural metabolism over time, and result in drastic negative implications over the long haul.

But even with all of these worthless diets, there still seem to be new ones that pop out of thin air and surprise you with even more seemingly idiotic concepts. One of these stupid concepts comes from Martin Katahn in his book The Rotation Diet.

About the Author

Martin Katahn is a weightloss moron marvel! Katahn is somehow the director of the University of Vanderbilt Weight Management Program and is the author of several other weightloss books, which I am sure offer other seemingly stupid weightloss concepts that are horribly flawed, poorly planned out, and only work in the land of the idiots where weight is lost through voodoo trickery and by a crew of small nearly invisible weight removal trucks that cruise into the body and remove load after load of unwanted fat.

About the Diet

Essentially the diet is all about doing exactly what you aren’t supposed to do in a diet, CRASH YOURSELF! Katahn apparently hasn’t read anything in the Journal of Medicine, he hasn’t read any studies, reports, or anything about the topic of weightloss, because if he had, then he couldn’t possibly think that this diet is a good idea.

The premise is that the body loses or gains weight in three week cycles. How he came up with this concept of three week cycles is beyond me, but I’m sure it involved as much intelligence as my son eating cereal out of Read More »
