There are no women in the world who are completely satisfied with their appearance. This is especially true of the figure, which representatives of the beautiful half of humanity seek to improve in all possible ways. However, not everyone has enough strength and patience to bring his body in order and lose excess pounds with the help of competent physical activity and a properly selected diet. Many prefer express-diets, often without even thinking about the devastating health consequences that popular methods of losing weight can lead to.
The human body is a complex balanced system that functions due to a variety of factors. The shortage of at least one of them can lead to serious consequences, which can provoke serious diseases and even become a real threat to life. Therefore, it is worth very attentive to advertised diets and try not to resort to them without professional advice from specialists. In this article, we will try to figure out which popular weight loss techniques can cause irreparable harm to our health
Monodieta
Its essence lies in the fact that for a certain time it is necessary to eat only one basic food product. Such a food system is considered to be very rigid and is usually used to cleanse the body, which is conducted no more than two days. However, some women, fanatically wishing to lose weight quickly and are inspired by a quick result, use this diet for a week, or even two. As a result, the body begins to experience a catastrophic shortage of nutrients and vitamins, due to which there are failures in the work of internal organs, metabolism is disrupted, hormonal changes occur and many other troubles occur.
For example, Larisa Dolina's favorite kefir diet can lead to gastrointestinal problems, anemia and a decrease in hemoglobin.
Watermelon diet at times increases the burden on the kidneys and leads to disruption of their work, which in consequence is fraught with the emergence of sand and stones.
Fruit and citrus mono-diets are extremely dangerous for people suffering from gastritis and ulcers, can cause the strongest allergic reactions.
Therefore, such a food system should be used exclusively for health-improving days of release and in no case can be considered a technique for losing weight.
Sweet Diet
Has gained immense popularity among women who can not force themselves to give up sweets. On the day, you can eat two tiles of dark chocolate, drinking their coffee or cocoa. Sweet helps to get rid of exhausting hunger, and a large amount of glucose gives a feeling of vigor and energy. However, such carbohydrate attack does not pass without a trace for the body: the metabolism is broken, the short-term state of euphoria is soon replaced by a decline in strength and headaches, there may be irregularities in the monthly cycle and problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Think about whether a few pounds of such a mockery of the body are worth it!
The protein diet (the Kremlin, Dukan, Atkins and others)
Its goal is to limit the consumption of fats and carbohydrates, replacing them with products with a high protein content. The ease of this diet is that you do not have to limit yourself in the amount of food, you can eat the usual foods and at the same time lose weight. But this is only at first glance. The insidiousness of this method of nutrition is that with excessive protein intake, the ketone content in the urine increases, which leads to impairment of kidney and adrenal function, the amount of cholesterol in the blood increases, and carbohydrate metabolism is disrupted. This can not but affect the state of health: the process of losing weight is accompanied by headaches, increased fatigue, and sometimes even fainting. The libido decreases, the genital function weakens. Tell me, do you want it?
Drinking diet
Within a month, only liquid or mashed foods can be eaten. Given that the body of an adult does not provide such a method of nutrition, serious health problems can arise. The rejection of solid fiber disrupts the metabolism and digestion system, causes atrophy of the mucosa and leads to serious problems with the intestines. In addition, the nervous system suffers, against the background of a diet, depression, apathy, various phobias, an oppressed state, loss of efficiency and interest in life in general can develop.
Salt Free Diet
It is believed that eliminating salt from the diet, you can lose 7-8 kilograms in two weeks. But what is more in this diet, harm or benefit? Salt is an indispensable source of sodium, the lack of which in the body can lead to serious consequences. Changing the chemical composition of the blood, which can lead to a decrease in blood pressure, anemia and even convulsions. Therefore, categorically it is not recommended to completely abandon salt for a long time in order to lose weight. Bessol diets are short-lived and are prescribed for medical purposes to people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney failure, hypertension and cirrhosis of the liver.
Raw diet
Adherents of raw foodstuffing argue the correctness of the choice of their food priorities by the primitive origin of man, whose ancestors were fed exclusively by raw products. They believe that when heat treated, food loses most of its nutritional properties and becomes useless to the body, thus contributing to the accumulation of toxins and excess fat. But do not forget that it is difficult for residents of large megacities to find products that do not contain harmful elements and toxins that have got into them in the production process. Minimize the damage from these substances only during heat treatment, while at the same time getting rid of the risk of contracting the infection through poor-quality meat or fish
Hormonal and chemical diets
And, of course, you can not fail to mention this most dangerous method of losing weight. Despite the fact that "magic tablets" are equated with narcotic drugs and their official distribution is punishable by law, there are many who want to lose weight with their help. The list of destructive consequences for the body is so great that the damage done by them does not go to any comparison with the lost kilograms. Chemicals, which are the basis of these drugs, destroy the brain and liver, negatively affect the stomach and intestines, cause severe allergic reactions and mental disorders.
Therefore, before you go on a diet, be sure to consult a nutritionist and consult with your doctor. Good luck!
