4 Things Never to Do to Lose Weight

People paid attention on weight loss to a very high degree. Even ready to do unproven and potentially dangerous things that can have serious health consequence.

This is the list of four unproven and potentially dangerous ways you should avoid in your weight loss program. Even some natural diet products are not necessarily safe or good for you

Starvation, Fasting, or Very Low-Calorie Diets

Effective cutting down of calorie intake cause weight loss, but this includes loss of muscle, and lowers metabolism. Strict restriction in calorie intake may also leads to a shift toward a higher percentage of body fat.
Unless you are under a medical supervision, don’t  cut calories below 1,200 per day. Or else, you may not get enough nutrient for your daily activities. Rapid weight loss will put you at risk to pack it back on, more fat and less muscle, especially  you are over fifty years

Supplements That Make Grand Promises

Companies that produce supplement drugs need no proven that their product are safe and good, unlike makers of prescription drugs. So if you are planning of taking any weight loss product, seek for medical advice first. Even natural products are not necessarily safe or good for you.

Cleanses or Detox Plans

Cleanses lead to weight loss, but losing lots of fluids without medical supervision especially when it is combined with fasting carry risks of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and more. Cleanses are not necessarily needed since your body is distinctively design to detoxify and excrete toxins. instead of engaging your body system in detoxification, take more caution of what you eat. Drinking plenty of water and eating lots of high-fiber foods will be of help in cleanse.

All Forms of Purging

Self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics. “These unhealthy and unsafe behaviors are not uncommon on college campuses, pose serious health problems, and are the first step in the development of eating disorder” says Connie Diekman, RD. she is the director if nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis. Frequent purging, vomiting or misuse of laxative will lead to excessive loss of fluid in the body. Healthy eating and drinking is a much safer weight loss approach.
