The Magnetic Diet is considered to be a fad diet. The concept behind the Magnetic diet is that all foods have magnetism and can attract health or disease through the substances that the food comes into contact with.
The term Invigorating Magnetism is used for foods that attract healthy substances such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The other side of the coin is Contaminating Magnetism. This is bad or unhealthy magnetism that is found in foods such as cholesterol, refined sugar, white flower, etc. Contaminating magnetism can attract disease to one's body.
In order to benefit from the Magnetism Diet, a person should choose to consume only foods that have invigorating magnetism. In addition, water should be consumed. Foods that should be eaten include fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, fish, whole grains, etc.
Recommended for those on the diet is exercise and mediation to reduce stress. For most dieters, it is suggested that an individual eat three meals a day with two snacks. Another important component of the Magnetic Diet is that a dieter should reduce caloric consumption by 500 calories. This can be done by eating less, exercise or a mixture of both.
Pros of the Magnetic Diet

The Magnetic Diet is more than just a short term diet program, but offers a lifestyle which includes exercise and meditation. While there are no scientific studies so far that prove the efficacy of the Magnetic Diet, many of the concepts used by those dieting have been proven to work at helping with weight loss including; eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, eating foods low in fat and cholesterol, reducing your caloric intake and practicing an exercise program.

While this diet espouses good habits such as eating less fat, cholesterol, eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grains and exercising regularly, there are plenty of diet programs available that have been proven to work without the need to worry about food magnetism. Before starting any diet or exercise program, consult with your doctor first.
