Doctors have long said that rapid or drastic weight loss is dangerous to health and can cause health problems.
Such diets are rightly called extreme and you need to be prepared for the fact that after completing the course the kilograms may return.
Dietitian Natalia Gridina told Lenta.ru in an interview why it is so dangerous to lose weight abruptly.
Rapid weight loss disrupts metabolism and causes digestive problems: constipation, gastritis or ulcers, the specialist said.
The problems can be very different, from hormonal imbalances to cardiovascular diseases.
This causes a deficiency of vitamins and minerals, which weakens the immune system and affects the nervous system.
This explains the nervousness and irritability of those who have decided to quickly say goodbye to extra pounds.
At the same time, hair and nails become brittle, skin dries out, and wrinkles become more noticeable.
The expert warns that the desire to lose 15 kilograms in a month can lead to such consequences.
It is important to remember that you can lose 0.5 to 1 kilogram per week, or 2 to 4 kilograms per month without harming your health.
