Crash Dieting Weight Loss Plans
Crash weight loss plans and fad diets are an unwise alternative to permanent healthy eating habits, according to the American Heart Association.
A number of these fad diets, such as the well known but outright silly Cabbage Soup Diet, will effect your wellbeing, and possibly cause physical discomfort (abdominal discomfort and flatulence and lead to the ping-pong effect of gaining weight shortly after losing it. In simple terms the risks far outweight the rewards.
Quick-weight-loss diets generally put far too much importance on one particular food or type of food. They don't include a mixture of foods or at least a healthy balance, a violation of the first principle of good nutrition, eat a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods. If you are able to stay on such a diet for more than a few weeks, you may develop nutritional deficiencies, because no one type of food has all the elements a human being needs for good health.
One such diet is the Cabbage Soup Diet. The deception of this fad diet is that cabbage soup is some sort of fat dissolving potion. The diet supposedly helps heart patients lose 10 to17 pounds in seven days before surgery. Even if the weight loss claim were true, all the damage due to a lack of many essential nutrients would far outweigh the benefits of losing the weight. Pixies, elves and fairies, or even cabbages, can't create mystical weight loss programs. Planning in eating all the main food groups is the best way to go.
These crazy diets also violate a second important principle of good nutrition which is that eating should be enjoyable.. It's impossible to stay on these diets for a long time because they're so bland. Imagine eating cabbage soup, nothing but cabbage soup, for even a few days much less for a whole week. By Wednesday you'd dread meal time, and by Friday you'd never again want to smell a cabbage much less eat the soup. They'd carry you away in a straight jacket by week's end.
There are many other ways fad diets aren't good diets. Most don't include physical activity, for example, walking 30 minutes most or all days of the week. Physical activity helps maintain weight loss, while physical inactivity is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. When a diet mentions no need for a workout, run the other way.
Quick weight loss can be good. It is a realistic option and many actually succeed with it. Just don't fall for tricks or false promises that might end up destroying your health and well being. - 17273
