Crash Diets Are Dangerous To Your Health

In today's world, many people are in a rush to get everything in their lives completed and finished in a certain period of time. This in many ways has become a normal habit for many even though it is not a very smart or healthy practice for your daily life. It is from this mentality that the crash diet had come into fruition. Although there have been individuals that have gone into these diets expecting miraculous results, they have been victim to one of the most dangerous concepts to come along where our health is concerned.
Crash diets promise you many wonderful results in a short period of time and some of them do produce those results, but the end results also leave the person feeling weak, drained and undernourished. This is referred to as the 'crash' which is where the diets had gotten its name from though it did not dissuade those individuals from carrying on with staying on the so-called diet they had chosen.
They have achieved the weight loss that they wanted, but they have starved themselves in the process. The main problem is that they are always short-lived and will leave the person gaining back the weight they had lost. The feeling afterward is a feeling of disappointment, disgust, weakness and self-hate due to the fact that the results did not last. The problem is not that the person gained the weight back but that they chose a diet where the end results would be short-lived at best. This leads to frustration and leads to loss of hope and people giving up on even trying again.
Over the years, people have resorted to crash diets to gain fast results without any consideration for the harm it can cause them in the long run. There have been diets that have come into fruition that are completely ridiculous yet there have been people who have fallen victim to believing that they will work for them. From this practice, some of the most insane crash diets have been developed and there have been those individuals who had fallen prey to them. Some of them have resulted in causing some of the worst problems that we still face today. These problems include alcoholism, bulimia, anorexia and in some cases there have been people who have died as a result of using these so-called diets.
Weight loss is something that takes dedication, commitment and a serious mind. It is not something that can occur overnight and it must be allowed to take time to gain positive results. Weight loss programs that promise you miracles that are too good to be true are precisely that...too good to be true. This will not give you the body that you are longing to have and you will not achieve your long-term goals this way. Depriving your body of food is a sure way to keep fat on your body and leave you with absolutely no results whatsoever. Please be careful in your selection of which diets you choose for your weight loss and fat-burning program and make sure that you have the discipline to keep yourselves on track.

Diets Don't Work

Any doctor worth their salt will tell you diets don't work.
Plain and simple. Surprised?
Well you might be. You can't get away from all the talk about
South Beach, Atkins, Low Carb, Zone ... you name it, they're
talking about it. It's on TV, in magazines... everywhere you
look.
And of course there are the pills, drugs and other expensive
methods to lose weight. While they may be appropriate in certain
cases, by and large they aren't necessary. Some can actually
be dangerous to your health.
What does work, what's been proven to work time and time again
is something very simple... a lifestyle change. You may not
want to hear it, but it's true.
You can't eat thousands of calories, rich desserts, sugary
snacks, excess fat and tons of carbs, get little or no
activity and expect to lose weight with a pill!
You'll be surprised to know that you don't need to stop eating
or have to exercise for hours every day to lose weight. Just a
few simple lifestyle changes added daily can turn your life
around quickly. You will start to lose weight within days
and feel better as well.
Here are 4 tips you can use to get started today:
- Drink water.
Drinking lots of water is probably the single most important
thing you can do for your health. Water delivers nutrients
throughout your body, flushes toxins out of your system and
aids in digestion. When you get up in the morning, start with
a full glass of water before you start your day (add a little
lemon if you like). Then get at least 10-12 additional glasses
of water in throughout the day.
- Eat slowly.
Chew your food 10-12 times before swallowing. Your saliva
starts the digestion process, and if you don't chew enough,
your stomach has to work twice as hard and many times you
don't get much out of the foods you eat -- except maybe some
indigestion :).
- Split your entree.
When eating out, split your entree with your dining
companion. Most restaurants now serve portions that are
up to 8 times the recommended serving size. Supplement
with a salad, soup or vegetable to complete your meal.
- Avoid sodas.
Did you know that an average soda has 14 teaspoons of
sugar? Not only are these empty calories and carbs that take
you on a blood sugar roller coaster and adds pounds, the sugar
also can also cripple your immune system for up to 5 hours
leaving your body working overtime and open to infections,
viruses and the effects of stress.
Drinking one soda a day alone can pack on 16 lbs of unwanted
weight! Skip that soda and watch the weight go away.
Additionally, recent studies have linked increased soda
consumption with certain cancers and a loss of essential
minerals from our bodies.
