Stop Crash Dieting To Lose Weight!

If you really want to lose weight then it is always advisable to eat healthy and stop crash dieting. You can start trying to cultivate self-control by fighting the urge to eat when you aren’t hungry. Comfort eating is a major contributor to obesity – instead of spending on junk food, save up that money and see a counselor who can help you tackle your emotional issues. Or throw yourself into some productive activities that will make you feel better about yourself, rather than digging into a hamburger or slice of cake that you don’t need anyway.

Crash dieting. Attention spans are becoming shorter and shorter, and people are constantly looking for quick results. This results in crash diets becoming increasingly popular, since they promise to make one lose a fixed number of pounds in a certain time period. Crash diets involve extreme dieting, and very sudden changes to the body.

More often than not, the body cannot cope with this suddenness, resulting in symptoms from indigestion, weakness, bloating etc which are passed off as “detox” by those who formulate the diets. In reality, the body simply cannot handle the sudden decrease in calories supplied to it, and ends up going into starvation mode. All this results in low energy levels, fat deposits (since the body converts all its food stores to fat that it will need in case of malnutrition) and water retention.
