Overweight and obesity are a very common problem in our society, and present in all ages and genders. The struggle to lose weight and achieve the ideal weight, besides being an aesthetic issue, is a public health problem. Fortunately, there are many healthy and alternative diets for a balanced diet, without harming our health.
Beware of dangerous Diets to lose weight
Some diets promise to lose several kilos in a few days or weeks, and although they may seem tempting, they can be very dangerous. Here we mention some of these effects:
Rebound effect
When a diet is very restrictive and has very few calories, our body goes into survival mode, and subsequently it causes a rebound effect. This happens when after the diet when returning to a normal diet the body begins to store more fat than before, even if we eat less, because the body wants to store essential nutrients.
Problems in the metabolism
The metabolism is the set of biochemical reactions of the body that synthesize the substances. With extreme diets you can alter your metabolism and cause diseases.
Tiredness and weakness
By consuming very few calories, our body tries to maintain the energy it needs by spending muscle reserves, causing exhaustion that can be very damaging in the long term.
Irritability
After performing an extreme diet for several days you may feel bad mood, anguish, sadness, or anger, and it becomes difficult to maintain a controlled mood.
Dehydration
Fast diets work because a large part of the weight we lose is water, and not fat, which affects the kidneys in particular.
Fragile bones
The lack of nutrients in restrictive diets eventually cause fragility in the bones, which can cause fractures and osteoporosis.
Dangerous diets are hypocaloric and strict, with these it is possible to lose weight quickly, but you will burn muscles and not fat. Another factor to take into account is that going hungry is not good for the body and is a characteristic of a dangerous diet. You should not lose more than one kilo per week. Always try to consume 5 meals per day to maintain normal energy levels and be too hungry, these meals should have sufficient amounts and according to the type of activity you do, age, size and health status.
