Best Answer

A diet is considered a fad diet when it promises unrealistic rapid weight loss results by following the specific guidelines of the diet. Often fad diets become popular very quickly and lose their popularity after a short time. These types of diets are generally considered unhealthy by medial and nutritional professionals as they do not supply the body with needed nutrients.
