5 dangers that we are not warned about when losing weight
In pursuit of modern fashion, almost every woman has resorted to a diet at least once in her life.
The desire to look slim and well-groomed often surpasses common sense and leads to dire consequences. So, today we will talk about five negative consequences that can happen to you if you follow an illiterate diet.
1. Slow down metabolism
Metabolism, or more simply, metabolism, is a complex process of chemical reactions necessary to sustain life that occur in any organism. Everyone knows that the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn fat. That is why many women mistakenly decide to severely limit food intake in the hope that this will help get rid of the unfortunate kilograms as soon as possible. However, this is exactly what happens. However, this effect does not last long: after all, after losing weight, you begin to gradually move away from the extreme diet and stop counting calories, and then the excess weight returns (usually with a few kilograms in addition).
2. Weakening of the immune system
It’s no secret that a tough diet often leads to a weakening of the immune system. After all, depriving yourself of junk food, you at the same time deprive the body of the vitamins it needs. And this, in turn, can cause the development of some kind of disease. Therefore, nutritionists recommend adhering to a competent diet aimed at gradually burning fat, with the intake of all vital vitamins.
3. Deterioration of the condition of the skin and hair
Do not forget about the condition of your skin and hair. After all, the lack of minerals and vitamins affects exactly the appearance. So, dull hair and dehydrated skin with rashes indicate that your diet is harmful to the body and you risk not only undermining your health, but also losing your hair, as well as ruining your skin.
4. Stretch marks on the body
Alas, every second woman following a diet is familiar with the problem of stretch marks on the body. This trouble can affect even if the total weight loss does not exceed four kilograms. This problem depends on some factors. First, the heredity and general condition of your skin. Secondly, it is important that your weight loss occurs smoothly. To minimize the occurrence of stretch marks, you should follow simple rules during the diet:
Do massage;
moisturize the skin;
take a contrast shower.
5. Sagging skin
Most often, the skin sags in the area of the shoulders, abdomen and chest. And this problem is faced by almost everyone whose weight loss is over 15 kilograms. In this case, only plastic surgery can help. However, it is easier to prevent the appearance of this problem, for which it is enough to maintain skin tone. Massage and hardware cosmetology procedures will help to avoid sagging skin.
Nutritionists advise to lose no more than five kilograms per month, which will enable the skin to get used to changes in the body.
