Crash Dieting

Dieting is a huge issue for thousands of women across the world. The most popular of all the odd tricks and techniques, is the crash diet.

For anyone who has ever been in the situation of "needing" to drop pounds fast before that special event, crash dieting has probably crossed your mind. However, doctors and nutritionists continue to find just how dangerous crash dieting can be.


Crash dieting causes a slew of problems for those who turn to it as a last resort. That type of dieting encourages women to cut extreme corners and often fails to
include all the necessary nutrients.

Typical results of crash dieting include a weeks worth of a distinct loss, followed by yo-
yoing. This is often because the weight lost was not real weight, but water weight, which fluctuates normally. However, most dangerous are the nutritional and mental health aspects to crash dieting.

Loosing your love handles for next week's high school reunion is just not possible. Turning to dangerous methods of weight loss only put your body at danger for future complications, as well as challenge the stability of your mental heath as well.

If you're interested in dieting, you should be interested in it as a health
benefit, not particularly to renew yourself for an event to show off to others. Learn to be proud of who you are, which includes making smart lifestyle changes and taking care of your body responsibly.
