In the news:
It still saddens me that the diet industry still finds very low calorie dangerous diets acceptable and what's worse, that women and men everywhere are still so misinformed. The body simply will not sustain any long term weight loss on such low calorie diets and furthermore, they damage our metabolism?
Having come out of the end of many years of diet brainwashing, I can see why people would be attracted to this promise of quick results but it just goes against everything our bodies are biologically designed to do. Drastic, extreme low calorie dieting does nothing more than shift water weight, force the body to burn lean muscle, lower the metabolism, cause depression and as this article demonstrates, cause serious health problems and even death.
Our bodies need calories to survive - just because eating too many calories can add weight, it is not the case that having too few will get rid of the weight effectively. Eating a good supportive, nutritious diet and increasing lean muscle through exercise is the only long term way to support your metabolism and have enough energy to live a healthy life.
So next time you are tempted by the quick fix, remember how precious your health really is.
