Crash
Diets
Crash diets are popular amongst
extremely desperate people and can have a lot of undesirable
consequences. Not only that but they can be very dangerous, in
terms of producing adverse effects on your
health.
Aside from robbing your body of the
essential nutrients it needs, in order to function properly,
crash diets are the exact reverse of what you need, to be able
to maintain a healthy body and physique.
Going from one extreme to another is
essentially what crash diets are all about. It means going
from eating healthily, or over-eating, to starving your
self (not eating at all) or replacing food with water or
something else to appease your appetite. As you can imagine,
the body gets a big shock and starts to react adversely, rather
quickly.
The effects of going on a crash diet
vary, and can include any or all of the following
phenomenon
Headaches
Nausea (sick feeling in the
stomach)
Stomach pains (cramping /tightness in
the stomach muscle / abdominal area)
Feeling light headed
(Dizziness)
Sleepiness (feeling
drowsy)
Insomnia (inability to
sleep)
Cardiac arrest (heart
attack)
Stroke (bursting a blood vessel in
the brain)
Malnutrition (loss of bone marrow and
muscle tissue)
Blood disorder (imbalance in red /
white blood cell ratio)
Skin allergies (pimples, rashes,
blotchy patches)
Loss of muscle tone (flabby skin
where muscles once were)
Poor vision ( blurry eyesight, double
vision)
Poor judgement (decision making
ability becomes impaired)
Low blood pressure ( inability to
maintain correct blood pressure)
High blood pressure ( above normal
for age)
Loss of concentration (inability to
sustain concentration and focus on one
thing)
Erratic thinking and self talk
(thoughts jumping from one subject to another
quickly)
Anxiety (feelings of insecurity and
fear)
Irritable bowel syndrome (stomach
cramps, constipation, diarrhea )
Low self esteem (feelings of
worthlessness)
The above list is by no means
exhausted. Links to eating disorders can be formed also, as a
result of crash dieting, such as becoming anorexic or suffering
from bulimia. Binge eating and binge crash dieting can also
occur.
As can be seen, crash diets are by no
means a healthy option, and should not be attempted at anytime,
no matter how desperate one feels they need to lose weight. If
you, or anyone you know, is considering going on a crash diet,
regardless of the reason, the need to think again and consider
other options is very obvious. No matter how many times one
might have failed, in the past, there are always many other
healthier options.
Whilst there is no easy answer, and
certainly no quick fix, long term solutions, there are other
ways to lose weight, and keep it off.

For your own sake you are strongly
advised to stay well away from crash dieting. There really is
no substitute for a balance of correct food, exercise and
sleep, however, is self discipline is lacking then the products
we recommend may be just what you are looking
for.
