Crash Diet
Crash Diet
The history of diets or Crash Diet, whichever way one looks at them, is extremely interesting. The Romans were apparently as fond of eating as they were conscious of their weight. They chose vomiting as an easy method of getting rid of food before it was digested and turned to fat.
Obesity and diets are not a recent phenomenon and have been around for a long time. Although it is difficult to imagine people working ten times harder than the modern man and still putting on excess fat, the reality is that people did manage to do exactly that even then.
It is not surprising that people prefer Crash Diet over exercise in their quest for weight reduction.
It is a natural human tendency to first look for an easy way out even if it is risky. It is probably because of this human trait that fad diets, Crash Diets and weight loss supplements that recommend exercise and yoga.
Over the years people have realized the negative effects of repeated vomiting. It can cause tooth decay, heart and kidney disease, osteoporosis and damage to the esophagus.
Don’t do a Crash Diet for more than 3 to 7 days. Most of these diets are not meant to be kept for extended periods of time. They aren’t balanced and not meant to be your permanent way of eating. Now the Atkins diet says you can keep it for extended periods of time, I don’t think it a good idea, but the diet changes once you get passed the first two weeks, so if you want to do that extended version of the diet, look it up and get more details on it.
Since the human body shuts down and consumed minimum energy when asleep, it is obvious that one cannot lose weight by sleeping or passing out. Though chewing food properly before it is swallowed is a good idea, eliminating fiber from the diet can cause alimentary canal problems. Spicy foods may or not provoke sexual desire, but bland food can only motivate you to banish food completely.
There’s a lot to worry about with crash dieting, as it deprives a person of the nutrients and calories she needs for optimum health and survival. Many people think of calories negatively, but a person actually needs a certain number of calories to maintain basic bodily functions, such as breathing.
When a person consumes too few calories because of a crash diet, she may actually put her health at serious risk.
Many crash diet require a person to consume less than 1200 calories per day, and some even go as low as 700 or 800 calories daily. For the average person, this is simply too few calories.
Despite this, a vast majority of the population is still enamored by crash diets that pay scant regard to general health. To add to an unhealthy trend, proponents of Crash Diets develop new theories that are fairly unacceptable to standard theories of nutrition, energy and health.
