We may be trying to lose weight but there are some things we MUST have included in our diets. Take a moment to read this ladies!!! I'm not trying to stop you from using diet plans ... I just want you to be careful!!!!!!

The 5 Most Dangerous Diet Plans Pick a day. Any day. About half the women in this country are dieting on that day. And while they may be successfully losing weight, they could also be on the path to a painful, debilitating disease: osteoporosis. Without intending to do so, many popular diets are causing women to lose bone density, causing irreversible damage. This is a startling fact: Researchers from Rutgers University say that of the 11 most popular weight loss programs, about half do not contain enough calcium and other critical nutrients, reports FitCommerce.com. "Women who follow calcium-poor diet plans for extensive periods of time could be causing irreversible damage to their bones and putting themselves at greater risk for osteoporosis," lead study author Audrey Cross told FitCommerce. "Some of the popular diet regimens reinforce the myth that dairy foods are fattening, but any plan that restricts milk and does not provide adequate amounts of calcium may be causing more harm than good."
Beware! The top five diets with the least amount of calcium are:
--Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution
--Sugar Busters
--Suzanne Somers' Fast & Easy
--The Perricone Prescription
--Body for Life
If you follow any of these diets, you'll get less than 60 percent of the daily recommendation for calcium. While women who are 19 to 50 years old need 1,000 mg of calcium every day, some diets provide as little as 475 mg. All you really need to do is drink two glasses of fat-free milk daily. That will keep your calorie count in check and boost your metabolism.
Cross warns women to look for these five signs of a dangerous diet:
--Promises a quick fix
--Lists "good" and "bad" foods
--Blames specific nutrients or hormones for weight problems
--Promotes food combining and rigid rules for eating
--Eliminates one or more food group.
