How To Minimize The Damage Of Drastic Dieting
I am strongly opposed to any form of extreme dieting. Yet I am aware that some people will do such diets irrespective of the potential harm. Thus, I will provide some pointers on how to minimize the risks with this article.
Why is crash dieting so bad for you? I would say the biggest drawback is the rebound weight gain that can happen afterwards. This rebound usually leaves the crash dieter heavier than before.
Thus, here is how to crash diet successfully:
1. Learn how to ramp off. You cannot just stop a crash diet and immediately resume eating the way you used to. Enzyme up-regulation and a morphed metabolism will make you regain weight at an accelerated rate. Instead, you have to slowly transition out of the diet.
2. Take a solid supplemental multivitamin. Purchase the best one you can afford. Any drastic diet is going to leave you with a deficiency in nutrients.
3. Figure out when you are most alert. Your biological clock will wake you up at two different times of the day. I identify when this happens and schedule your most demanding tasks accordingly.
4. Distract yourself. Use distraction when the hunger begins to scream. I knew one elite wrestler that would chew ice and play intense video game sessions during the most challenging dieting lows.
5. Embrace the rebound.You are going to gain weight once you stop, period. Do your best to minimize the rebound, but do not get down once it happens.
6. Do not do it long term. Even if you are getting outstanding results. Doing so can seriously damage your metabolism. And once your metabolism is haywire, it can take a lot of work to fix it.
Extreme dieting can seriously alter your metabolism if done for too long or if done incorrectly. If you decide to go on an extreme diet, however, make sure to follow my guidelines! - 17268
