Starvation Diet - Not the Answer and Why

Return to... Page 6

Experts have also indicated that due to the difficulty and the stress that the Starvation Diet requires, there is a very high chance that people will simply not be able to complete the diet successfully. This is bad firstly because their weight loss goals are not achieved but also because it wounds their pride and can very well cause them to lose interest in other more effective slimming diets.

In addition to the high drop off rate there is also a higher than average incidence of people gaining all the weight that they have lost. The experts have concluded that this is again most probably because of the difficulty of the diet and how some of the dieters have chosen to reward themselves for achieving their feat. Unfortunately they revert back to rewarding themselves with food which will eventually start the downward cycle once again and make them overweight once more.

There are also very real health problems and concerns that experts have recognized with the severe calorie restriction. Firstly, the lack of nutrition, vitamins and minerals may actually lead to malnutrition. This is especially true in the Dieting Phase where calories are severely restricted. Dieters will also face the potential onset of gastric problems as the food intake is reduced.

Why the Starvation Diet is Recommended
The very first reason that the Starvation Diet can be recommended is because of the results. There simply isn’t another diet out there that can make a person lose weight as fast. For those that have the determination to go through the diet and have a need to lose weight rapidly for whatever reason the Starvation Diet is the way to go unless you are suffering from a medical condition, then you will need to consult a medical doctor before proceeding.

Some experts will point to the additional cleansing affect of the Starvation Diet as an additional bonus that other types of diets do not bring to the table. The cleansing affect happens when the diet forces your body to burn fat very quickly. Toxins have a bad habit of being stored in the fat and as such when you diet and drink a lot of water, the toxins will be flushed off by the kidneys in the form of urine. It is quite normal for your urine to be unusually yellow even if you haven’t ate or done anything to cause this. It is simply toxins being washed away by your body.
