| Does such crash dieting has any effect?
Crash dieting has some effect. As you are eating nothing but only salads,
fruits and fruit juices, and that too in a very measured amount, so, you
are almost in a state of self-starvation, something like fasting for months.
During the early phase, your body consumes glycogen ( stored carbohydrate
) to get required energy. Mind you, your fat is not going to be consumed
by starvation alone. It is the glycogen stock that gets exhausted at first.
Then body starts to loose water. Naturally you will look thin and weak
as well.
Are there any evil effect?
Such shocking diet may improve your shape temporarily but it introduces
a disorder called anorexia. Food is the fuel of our body. Since you are
not supplying fuel, do not expect your body to act exactly the same way
as it would do earlier. It will slow down gradually and this has long
term side effects.See how it happens:
Low blood pressure => slow heart beat => heart failure!
Constipation => blooting.
Periods stop, growth problems, pregnant woman run the risk of miscarriage.
Weak muscles => swollen joints => bone loss => fractures =>
osteoporosis.!
Your overall body immune system will be destroyed making you susceptable
to any diseases which may sometime claim your life.
So final word?
Work out daily, do not start shocking diet. Try to become slim and healthy
and not wick and sick.
