The danger of extreme diets is that, in addition to returning the lost kilograms, they can seriously harm your health.
Moreover, we are not only talking about digestive problems.
Cardiologist Asiyat Khachirova listed all the most serious health consequences of extreme diets in an interview with NEWS.ru.
It is considered a completely unbalanced diet. According to the specialist, even a fatal outcome cannot be ruled out in this case.
This group of diets is characterized by a large amount of protein and fat.
Those who want to lose weight are advised to give up whole grain products, which is associated with a deficiency of B vitamins, vitamin D and calcium.
Along with this, the load on the intestines, liver and kidneys increases.
If pregnant women follow these diets, there is a risk of abnormal fetal development.
Diets also provoke a high risk of developing ketoacidosis, the formation of kidney stones and gall bladder stones.
In this case, those losing weight are offered to consume so-called substitute products in large quantities.
These are cocktails, smoothies, various types of bars and juices.
An expert warns that a healthy diet should include whole foods, not processed ones.
