RAPID WEIGHT LOSS - DIETING - QUICK DIETS

DANGERS

Fad diets offering rapid weight loss, are almost always constructed to drastically reduce the intake of some food, fat, or carbs, for example. Yet our bodies all require a necessary amount of all three types of calorie. Our bodies cannot function healthily without a certain amount of fat calories. Also, we end up depriving the body of many essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals when we avoid food groups altogether. Just a general lack of calories can cause our bodies to react slower, make us weaker, and other undesireable effects.

Another big danger when attempting to lose weight quickly is loose skin. Drastic shifts in weight can cause the muscle or fat mass beneath the skin to be way smaller than the skin covering it. This can leave flabby sections of skin on the otherwise leaner body, and could require surgery to remove it later.
