Fad diets never work because they're restrictive in nature. Though you may see results after a few weeks, extreme diets can wreak havoc on your health and lead to rebound weight gain. Instead, The Daily Meal has compiled a list of 50 recipes formulated by nutritionists to help you lose weight, while staying nourished and energized. The team at The Daily Meal reached out to nine nutritionists, doctors, and health coaches for helpful tips and recipes.
