What Are Crash Diets?

A healthy diet is an essential component of any type of weight loss program. Exercise is the other important component which makes the program complete. So, you can say that weight loss is a dual process and it cannot be achieved with only one component. Many overweight people fail to understand this and they resort to crash diets to lose weight fast.

Crash dieting is cutting down on daily calorie intake significantly. When you go on a crash diet, you eat small amounts of food. This type of diet is not good for a healthy mind and body. If you follow this type of a diet for a long time, you are sure to experience a number of potentially serious health issues.

Disadvantages of crash diet

·    Crash diet deprives your body of nutrients that are necessary for good health.
·    This type of diet is synonymous to starvation.
·    Crash diet may result in ill-health and ailments.
·    Crash diets slow down the metabolism.
·    It deprives your body of energy.
·    Crash dieting is only good for short term weight loss.
·    You resume eating a lot after the crash diet. So, you gain more weight later.

Effectiveness of crash diet

A diet program is only good when it is effective. So – is crash diet good and effective? My answer is a big "NO". Although crash dieting can make you lose weight, the duration of the 

lost pounds is temporary. When you resume your regular diet, you will gain more weight because your metabolism has become very slow. Your body becomes unable to burn more calories. All in all, crash diet becomes ineffective and even dangerous.
