Diet gun

Safe and effective weight loss is based on scientific evidence and results in the loss of fat mass and minimal or no loss of lean body mass such as fluids, electrolytes, minerals, glycogen stores, bones, muscle tissue, glycogen stores.

There are no perfect nutritional programs, but there are certainly bad nutritional programs.

In long-term diet programs that require a significant weight loss, there will certainly be a small loss of muscle mass.

But what can happen to the body when body weight is significantly reduced in a short period of time with monophagous or pure protein diets or with significantly reduced calorie programs that do not provide the necessary nutrients?


10 of the consequences are as follows:
 
1. Significant reduction in muscle mass and possible problems with heart function (the heart is a muscle)

2. Slowing of basal metabolism (unless parallel exercise is performed)

3. Reduction in oxygen consumption rate (the lungs and circulatory system do not function as they should and damage can occur to individual organ systems such as the heart and brain)

4. Decrease in body temperature (can significantly disrupt organ function, such as the heart and nervous system, exhaustion, drowsiness, tachycardia are some of its symptoms)

5. High concentration of ketones in the blood, mainly in diets low in carbohydrates and high in protein but also in ketogenic diets

6. Increased loss of electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus

7. Decrease in ph (when the ph approaches acidic, the body takes mineral reserves from key vital organs and bones to neutralize the ph and eliminate acids from the body)

8. Large loss of fluids (mainly in carbohydrate-free diets, 1 gram of carbohydrate holds 3 – 4 grams of fluids)

9. Anxiety and tendencies for depressive episodes

10. Internal conflicts that are the result of resistance to food consumption and lead to internal pressure


A balanced, proper diet or a well-designed dietary program, appropriately adapted to the life of the specific person who does it, is effective and will certainly help a lot in maintaining and promoting health by minimizing the above consequences, especially if some form of exercise can be performed at the same time.
