When choosing the effectiveness of diets, we often think only about the rate of weight loss. Ignoring the warnings of doctors to eat right and lose weight smoothly, gradually, such a choice is fraught with the consequences of a disorder in the entire work of the body.
Disorder of the digestive tract
Not having time to adapt to a sharp reduction in diet or a large amount of fiber and water, your digestive tract organs react first. Bloating, discomfort, pain, cramps and colic, and stool disturbances may appear. And if for a while you are preparing to endure troubles for the sake of a thin waist, then lingering disorders of the digestive system lead to chronic diseases – gastritis, ulcers and pancreatitis. Acidity is disturbed, there is a failure in the secretion of bile – it will be very difficult to return to the previous way of life without consequences.
Metabolic slowdown
In order to provide energy to the entire body from a limited amount of food, the metabolism behaves smartly – it slows down, releasing calories for your life gradually. This will not bother you until you return to your previous diet. It is then that all the processes of losing weight will suddenly stop and begin to move in the opposite direction. The slowed down metabolism will continue to “burn” all your calories for a long time, delaying the removal of toxins.
Unattractive appearance
Losing weight rapidly, your skin will not have time to restore its elasticity and will simply sag, and wrinkles will form in the places of creases. Due to the loss of fluid and lack of vitamins, the skin becomes dry, nails begin to exfoliate and hair falls out. Muscles also do not receive enough fuel for growth, and it turns out that under the layer of fat, not a relief, but an asthenic physique awaits us. Instead of the coveted beauty, you get a tortured look and a number of health problems that cannot be solved with the help of cosmetics alone.
Lack of energy
On strict diets based on a meager diet or the use of monoproducts, a loss of energy is inevitable, which affects work as well. The ability of the brain to assimilate information decreases, attention is scattered, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, or vice versa, constant drowsiness, weakness and powerlessness appear. Is it worth the risk for such a limited lifestyle?
Return weight
After leaving the diets, most often also the wrong one, the weight not only returns to the same volume, but also increases. This is due to the slow metabolism, which was mentioned earlier, and due to the inability to control oneself. After all, during the diet, we miss our favorite foods and pounce on them with more passion.
