How To Minimize The Damage Of Drastic Dieting

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

I am strongly opposed to any form of extreme dieting. Yet I am aware that some people will do such diets irrespective of the potential harm. Thus, I will provide some pointers on how to minimize the risks with this article.

What is the worst part? The massive regain of weight once the person stops. This happens because of certain enzymes and because of a damaged metabolism.

So here is how to minimize the damage of drastic dieting:

1. Learn how to stop. You cannot just stop cold turkey here. A slow phasing out of the diet is your best option. If you simply stop the diet and start eating the way you used to, you will gain a lot of weight very quickly.

2. Take a solid supplemental multivitamin. Purchase the best one you can afford. Any drastic diet is going to leave you with a deficiency in nutrients.

3. Figure out when you are most alert. Your biological clock will wake you up at two different times of the day. I identify when this happens and schedule your most demanding tasks accordingly.

4. Distract yourself. Use distraction when the hunger begins to scream. I knew one elite wrestler that would chew ice and play intense video game sessions during the most challenging dieting lows.

5. Expect the regain. You will gain some weight once you stop dieting. There is no way around this. So do not get discouraged when it happens.

6. Avoid long term dieting. This has the potential to seriously damage your body. Do not do an extreme diet for extended periods of time.

Extreme dieting can seriously alter your metabolism if done for too long or if done incorrectly. If you decide to go on an extreme diet, however, make sure to follow my guidelines! - 17273
