Diets that kill

Numerous diets promise amazing results in the shortest possible time, while keeping silent about the most important thing, about the possible negative consequences that may occur for the body. Today we will talk about the weak side of diets. Pay attention to them if you do decide to use them.

The danger of mono diets

This diet group is designed for the use of any one product. For example, buckwheat, apples, eggs, chicken, etc. The duration of such a meal cannot be more than 5 days. Otherwise, the body "can go on strike". As a rule, such diets are absolutely unbalanced, and the lack of vitamins and minerals negatively affects the state of health. In addition, it is necessary to consult a specialist before severely restricting food. If you have some health problems such as diabetes, cancer, etc. the use of such systems is simply unacceptable.

A mono-diet, of course, will give a quick, but not long-lasting result. Very often they are used by actors to achieve certain parameters in a short time. However, after a while, the weight and volume will return.

Therefore, if your goal is to lose weight for any event, for example, a wedding, birthday, new year, then try it. To keep the result for a long time will not work.

The harm of a sweet diet

The dream of any sweet tooth to lose weight on sweet diet... However, this is not entirely safe for health. This nutrition system reduces the entire daily diet to the use of dark chocolate. Duration of the diet is 3-5 days. Please note that chocolate contains a lot of carbohydrates, which quickly saturate the body and reduce hunger. Such a "deception", naturally, is not harmless to the body. With such a diet, there is a sharp deficiency of proteins, which are the main building materials for our body. Therefore, weight loss occurs at the expense of muscle loss. And this is not very good. Indeed, after the completion of the process, in the absence of physical activity, instead of muscles, fatty tissue will come, which is much lighter than muscle mass. Consequently, you will notice not only an increase in body weight, but also volume. And this, for sure, is not exactly what you wanted to achieve.

Drinking diet

This system restricts meals to “solid foods”. Only drinking is allowed. For example, soups, kefir, water, etc. Experts recommend adhering to this diet for about a month. However, prolonged consumption of only liquid food can lead to mucosal atrophy. Subsequently, the gastrointestinal tract begins to produce an insufficient amount of food enzymes, refusing to process hard food. It can take more than one year to restore the body.

In addition, such nutrition has a negative effect on the appearance - the skin becomes dry and flaky, hair loss, brittle nails increase, female organs malfunction due to lack of fat, etc.

Lack of protein food will lead to loss of muscle mass, accumulation of fluid in the tissues and edema. After all the efforts and torment, after a while the weight will return, and in the form of adipose tissue. Having lost a certain percentage of muscles, you will receive fat "as a reward", and this is extra centimeters in the waist and other problem areas.   

Protein diet

The most popular diet today is protein... Its popularity is due to its high efficiency. However, there are also pitfalls here. Protein foods are quite heavy food for the body. It is not processed into fat, but in case of excess intake into the body, it is deposited on the walls of the intestine, slagging it, with their excess, the so-called "protein poisoning", constipation, may appear. Therefore, adhering to a protein diet, it is imperative to ensure that a sufficient amount of fiber is supplied to the body.

In addition, this system limits the intake of fats and carbohydrates that the body needs. Lack of fat negatively affects women's health, and lack of carbohydrates can disrupt brain activity. A person becomes lethargic, drowsiness, and loss of strength are manifested. A deficiency of vitamins with limited nutrition leads to poor health, but also causes negative changes in appearance, nails break and exfoliate, hair splits and falls out, the skin dries and peels off, new wrinkles begin to form.

There are several known cases when, after a prolonged enthusiasm for the protein diet, people ended up in a serious condition in the hospital with disruption of the gastrointestinal tract.

Dangers of a pill diet

About harm diet pills today they write a lot. And most importantly, such a medicine has not yet been invented, using which one could lose a few extra pounds without harm to health. All of these pills do not stimulate the burning of fatty tissue. Some of them act on the brain, disrupting metabolic processes and making the body feel full. Sibutramine, which is part of the magic pills, teaches the brain to constantly take these pills, and psychological attachment to them arises. Indeed, in addition to reducing appetite, it stimulates the production of endorphins. Unpleasant surprises, in the form of a sharp increase in appetite, depression, insomnia, await a person who decides to quit diets on pills.

The second part of the tablets leads patients to the toilet, removing all useful substances from the body, liquid, which can cause dehydration. Dizziness, sleep disturbance, loss of teeth, brittle nails and hair, peeling of the skin and other problems become constant companions of lovers of "easy" weight loss.

Fat free diet

Excessive fat intake can lead to gaining extra pounds. But do not approach the issue too radically, and completely remove them from the menu. 10% of the daily diet is a limit that should not be underestimated under any circumstances. After all, it is thanks to them that microelements A and E are assimilated in the body, which are considered "beauty vitamins" in the modern world.

Lack of fat negatively affects the functioning of the brain, as intercellular nutrition is disrupted. Memory and general psycho-emotional state deteriorate.

Raw food

This type of food is known to many. Most of the followers of this system write a lot of positive reviews about it. But you should not drastically change your taste preferences. And if you still decide to try, then you need to do it after consulting a doctor. Self-infatuation raw food can lead to anemia, osteoporosis, problems with the female reproductive and nervous systems, etc.

Many raw foodists claim to get enough protein from their diet. However, it has been proven that the structure of animal and plant proteins is completely different. Long-term abstinence from normal food can lead to irreversible consequences. For example, in vegans with long experience, even when switching to a regular diet, the body stops absorbing vitamin B12, since the cells responsible for its absorption die and do not recover.

By the way, the problems that have arisen can be irreversible.

And yet, remember that returning to your usual diet, it is very easy to gain not only the lost pounds, but much more. Therefore, so that efforts are not wasted, try to competently switch to your daily diet. Do not overeat or overload the body, watch your diet, play sports, then the body will delight you for many years.
