Basically, any diet based on excessive restrictions does not solve the problem of excess weight.
The lost kilograms come back later. Self-medication can also lead to health problems – depression, gout and gallstones.
According to Iulia Cehonina, nutritionist and senior researcher at the Federal Research Center for Nutrition, Biotechnology and Food Safety clinic, each of these diets does not teach us the most important thing – to eat properly – and does not give the body the opportunity to provide all the necessary substances.
During a strict low-calorie diet, excess fluid and excess fat are lost, but muscle mass is also lost at the same time. This leads to a decrease in energy consumption and the speed of metabolic processes, since the muscles consume more calories. And the person returns to the old diet already with a slowed metabolism. Therefore, the lost kilograms are recovered and new ones are added.
Some diets, called protein, with a high protein content, often have a complication, such as the formation of stones: in the gall bladder, in the kidneys.
In the case of a high-protein diet, food with animal proteins usually predominates in the diet. For this reason, the level of cholesterol in the blood increases, which leads to the appearance of cardiovascular diseases.
According to scientists, people who follow no-carbohydrate diets for years, the risk of premature death from cardiovascular diseases increases by almost 30%.
The nutritionist believes that if a person wants to lose weight, then he must start with establishing an order in his diet. The most common cause of excess weight is overeating.
