Everybody we know is dieting these days!
- Be it a special K diet or the Mediterranean diet, everyone is jumping on the dieting wagon to lose weight.
- Dieting is regulating the intake of food into the body, to achieve a desired weight loss.
- Throw the word ‘crash’ ahead of diet and what you get is a potent recipe for disaster!
Crash dieting, a restrictive type of dieting is one of the harsher ways to lose weight, on the body.
- Crash dieting has long been the instant answer to rapid weight loss, but is this diet healthy?
- Is it harming us in the long run?
Are the instant results of weight loss, worthy enough of depriving our body of its nutrition?
The answer is ‘No’ to all!
Weight loss achieved by crash dieting works on a yo-yo basis.
Weight lost due is gained immediately after stopping the diet!
Not only this but individuals who opt for repeated crash dieting put themselves at a number of health risks.
So what is Crash Dieting?
Crash dieting is the most restrictive type of dieting which is designed to produce a considerable decrease in the body weight!
The diet exchanges your normal food intake with meager food, concentrating on the reduction of calories in your body.
Crash dieting makes you lose a lot of weight but in the form of water from your body, which causes you to gain back the weight immediately.
Drastic reduction of food input puts your body into the ‘starvation mode’ and it begins to derive the needed energy from muscles, tissues and even bones, making you highly vulnerable towards many health risks!
Health risks associated with repeated Crash Dieting
Crash dieting with its low calorie intake and sudden weight loss can cause many health problems for its regular practitioners!
