Why Fad Diets are Unhealthy
June 11th, 2009A Natural Weight Loss Diet does not cause any of the
Health problems caused by
Fad Diets or Quick Weight Loss Diets.
Besides the risk of dehydration, there are several
Health reasons that make Fad Diets a risk to your
Health.
The normal source of energy is the carbohydrate,
which has been limited due to dieting so the body will
Burn Fat for energy. So you think Fat Burning is great
but the problem is that the body can not Burn Fat
completely without the present of carbohydrates.
This incomplete Fat Burning process produces
ketones which accumulate in the blood. The only
means for the body to eliminate the ketones is
via the urine, causing dehydration and the fruit like
breathe that is key sign that a diabetic is in danger.
If the process is not stopped the body can go into
shock which may lead to body shut down of all the
system and finally death.
This chemical imbalance is similar to what happens
to diabetics who don’t eat every few hours to
maintain their blood chemistry balance.
Still another problem with the incomplete Fat Burning
is that very little usable energy is produced and you
may feel fatigued and weak.
Another problem can be caused by the Fad Diets,
the wasting away of body muscle. Sure you are
using your muscles everyday so you think that will
keep you in shape, but that’ not why you get
muscle waste.
When the body goes to repair itself proteins are very
important in the process. So while you sleep the body
tries to repair it self using what resources are there.
One source of protein is muscles tissue. This is why
people loose muscle on long time fad diets. The loss
isn’t due to disuse of muscles, atrophy, or decrease
in the size of the muscle but to the body breaking
down the muscles.
The weakness may not be realized until later since
weakness is also seen with the incomplete burning of
fat. There will be an increase in energy as soon as
the carbohydrates are taken into the body but the
recovery will not be at the previous level. It usually
takes time for the results to be seen and then it may
be a major Health issue.
These are a few of the complications caused by
using Fad Diets over a long time. There are still
issues with the immune systems and other organs
of the body that we have not mentioned.
And it isn’t smart to use the Fad Diet and then go on
a regular diet, then back to the Fad Diet, thinking
that you can control the damage. Since you can’t
see the damage how can you asset what you
damage has been done? The body is very good at
adapting to difficulties without causing any great pain.
Lose the weight the same way you gained it over a
period of time. Fad Diets are not safe to use for long
term weight loss, don’t gamble on your Health and
lifestyle for a quick fix that will only cost you
your health in the long run.
