A very real danger out there that gets swept under the carpet is the number of people calorie “restricting” and put themselves into starvation mode all in the name of looking “thinner”! These diets never ever work long term and cause misery all in the name of a “quick fix”.
The side effects both physically and emotionally are staggering.
From powder and shakes diets, with one meal a day thrown in, to so called fat burners and diets in the 1200 to 1400 calories a day (starvation mode and deeply damaging), they are trying to put your health at severe risk all in the name of ripping you off for a lot of money. Diets under 1200 calories a day are very dangerous, very damaging and your health is at risk full stop.
Most people who try to lose weight cut their calories far too quick and by too much and the side effects can sound like a horror story.
Many people who go through this according to the NHS, and other leading health organisations want you to know the real story on what happens and the very real side effects.
Just some:
Loss of strength and muscle mass/tone
Depression
Weakening bone density
Diminished energy and sex drive
Hormonal disruption, and lower testosterone in both men and women.
Most people who go through it look horrible afterwards, looking scrawny, have zero energy with no muscle tone. The weight
inevitably comes back on once you go through it every single time.
Most responsible health professionals will get you to lose weight slowly and steadily, 1-2 pounds a week is what most doctors recommend.
Please don’t become another victim of these scam artists who don’t care about the consequences for you and many others.
