Pros and cons of a low-calorie diet


Is a rigid diet the way to obesity? What are the disadvantages and advantages of a low-calorie diet? Does she bring only a slender body or a lot of health problems?

Nutritionists believe that the human body is like a "biological oven." In order to live, you need energy coming from food. To maintain a "normal" body weight, you need to balance between the calories received by the body and the calories consumed.

There is a technique for rapidly reducing body weight - fasting. When the case is limited to a diet, and especially hard or zero, which leads to violations of the body.

There is a serious imbalance in biochemical, catalytic, immune, endocrine, energy processes. The body is once again convinced of the correctness of the deepest attitudes: "lose weight - be ill," plump up - recover. "Severely disrupting the health of the imbalance, the body increasingly resists weight loss, increasingly gaining weight.

According to the studies of the training centers, it is proved that severe food restrictions are harmful to health. The risk of diseases associated with hunger increases several times due to those disorders that arise in the system of internal regulation. Frustration of the cell, neurotic disorders,, mineral imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, protein starvation can lead and lead to brittleness of the nails, hair loss, disruption of the gastrointestinal tract, exacerbation of chronic diseases, weighting of the course of acute infectious diseases, weakness, lethargy and so on. All this is a consequence of severe food restrictions.

The best methods for treating obesity are DG (dosed fasting), RDT (discharge diet therapy), fluid restriction, the appointment of diuretics, laxatives, siphon enemas and so on.

Numerous practice of clinics dealing with the normalization of body weight, proves that hunger, hungry days, fasting days, the appointment of diuretics in order to lose weight are contraindicated to the full people. You can not bring health to people for the sake of external effects (speed of weight loss). Moreover, survivors of hunger strikes several times start to suffer from bulimia more often than others ( bulimia is a mental illness with a sharply increased appetite , a tendency to depressions , binges of overeating , and subsequent vomiting ).

As a result of starvation we get deplorable results:

One of the dangerous criteria in the process of fasting is the restriction of fluid. Limiting the fluid is not only harmful, but also stupid. As a result of dehydration (dehydration), the mass will decrease by 3 kg. The liquid has a tropism (ie, loves, has love) to adipose tissue. Leave the fat, and leave the liquid. If you drink diuretics, then in addition to dehydration (dehydration), which causes a decrease in skin elasticity, wrinkles, a mineral imbalance, a loss of potassium, is also caused. Potassium is absolutely necessary for the normalization of lipid (fat) metabolism. Diuretics save lives and health of many people when they are prescribed according to indications (heart failure, allergic swelling, for detoxification, etc.). Prescribe them with excess weight is necessary only if there are such disorders or on the background of hormone therapy because of the risk of fluid retention in the body.

The use of only rational nutrition, starvation and diet, exercise, the use of drugs that promote weight loss and psychotherapy, will not help getting rid of excess body weight. Overweight is a complex problem that affects many parts of the work, both metabolic processes and our psyche. And remember, to treat obesity, you need only under the supervision of a specialist (nutritionist, doctor).
