Help, would appreciate if anyone would help answer this question for me. Thanks!!! :) 3. There are many different dietary products out on the market. Some are more effective than others. Why is the concept of a balanced diet more effective for weight loss than the “miracle diet loss supplements” ?

well im not exactly sure but i guess because supplements may have various side-effects, which also differ from person to person, whereas a balanced diet is more effective and long lasting. for example if you stop taking the supplements you might gain weight again very quickly because those supplements may just be suppressing your appetite. but with a balanced diet, your body gets used to a certain routine, and it becomes a life-long habit, so you lose weight and then stay slim(or at your goal weight) for the rest of your life. that of course being with no health risks or side-effects, which are common in supplements. i hope that helps, but dont take my word for it, try to research what kind of health risks come for supplements etc.
