Crash Diets Are Not the Answer
People are forever looking for almost instantaneous answers to their dieting but this is practically impossible without causing other problems for your health.
Crash diets result in your body being starved of various elements which can lead to a breakdown in how your system performs certain naturally required tasks.
Crash diets are usually associated with a severe limitation of the number of calories that you consume however counting calories is a very difficult and inaccurate process.
People know that starvation leads to severe health problems and in some cases death yet crash diets are only one step above starvation.
In order to lose weight you have to look at a long term plan and the target that you wish to achieve.
Quite simply the short term potential gain of a crash diet is heavily outweighed by the long term problems that are often associated with it.
It is much more beneficial for the body to be on a gradual continuous dietary plan which supplies the body with all that it requires to function rather than put it into what is basically a state of shock by depriving it of essentials.
Your brain is unable to function; your vital organs can develop problems including heart disease in the long term.
A lot of people who crash diet actually end up binge eating afterwards therefore completely cancelling out any weight loss and leading to a feeling of dissatisfaction on the realisation that they are back to square one.
Instead of crash diets you are better following a gradual path to weight loss as this gives you a much better chance of keeping the weight off that you lose.
Fluctuating weight levels are not good and not conducive to a long healthy life.
You have to picture your body as like a fine classic sports car.
You would not deprive it of things that would be beneficial to it, instead you would cherish it, look after it, do the right things to maintain it.
Why would you then wish to deprive your body of the fuel it needs to work? If you put the wrong type of fuel in your car then it would not work so in the dietary world why would you do the equivalent? The end result would be the same in both cases, in that both will eventually lead to breakdown and require a lot of time and care to nurse back to health.
By following a set, yet balanced, regime full of your favourite foods and without the feeling of fear of eating the wrong thing you will be on track to gaining better results.
The correct amount of exercise allows the body to work naturally and without using reserves which in time concludes with you losing weight.
The crash diet is an extreme method which should really be avoided by those who wish to lose weight and stay at that level.
