What are the dangers of fasting and it’s side effects?

In most cases a diet or dieting is used in combination with physical exercise to lose weight.

If you are overweight or obese, everyone tells you to get on a diet.

On the other hand, some women aspire to gain weight (usually in the form lean muscle).

Diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight.

Diets used to promote weight loss are generally divided into four categories:

  1. Low-fat (low fat diet)
  2. Low-carbohydrate or low carb, (carb diet, low carb diet )
  3. Low-calorie (low calorie diet)
  4. Very low calories diet

A meta-analysis or systematic review of six randomized controlled trials found no difference between the main diet types.

Low calorie, low carbohydrate, and low fat with 2–4 kilogram weight loss in all studies.

 At two years mark, all calorie-reduced diet types cause equal weight loss irrespective of the macronutrients emphasized.

Different types of diets like low-fat diets, low-carbohydrate diets, low-calorie diets, very low-calorie diets effects and/or influences:

  • Low carbohydrate versus low fat
  • Low glycemic index
  • Fat loss versus muscle loss
  • Energy obtained from food
  • Proper nutrition
  • How your body gets rid of fat
  • Psychological aspects of weight-loss dieting

Low-fat diets

Low-fat diets involve the reduction of the percentage of fat inyour diet as calorie consumption is reduced but not purposely so.

Low-carbohydrate diets

Low carbohydrate diets such as Atkins and Protein Power are relatively high in fat and protein.
  • These types of diets are very popular in the press but are not recommended by the American Heart Association.
  • A review of 107 studies did not find that low-carbohydrate diets cause weight loss, except when calorie intake was restricted.
  • No adverse effects from low carbohydrate diets were detected.
Low carbohydrate diets do not support exercise very well due to the fact that carbohydrates are the main source of energy during anaerobic exercise.
  • Most elite athletes use carbohydrates for sprinting or resistance training as carbs supply 30% or more during aerobic exercise.

Low-calorie diets

Low-calorie diets or calorie restriction usually produce an energy deficit of 500–1,000 calories per day…
  • Which can result in a 0.5 kilogram (1.1 lb) weight loss per week.
  • They include the DASH diet and Weight Watchers among others.
The National Institutes of Health reviewed 34 randomized controlled trials to determine the effectiveness of low-calorie diets.
  • National Institutes of Health found these diets lowered total body mass by 8% over 3–12 months.

Very low-calorie diets

Very low calorie diets provide 200–800 kcal/day, maintaining protein intake but limiting calories from both fat and carbohydrates.
  • These types of diets subject your body to starvation and produce an average weekly weight loss of 1.5–2.5 kilograms (3.3–5.5 lb).
  • These diets are not recommended for general use.
Very low calorie diets are associated with adverse side effects such as loss of lean muscle mass, increased risks of gout, and electrolyte imbalances.
  • People attempting very low calorie diets must be monitored closely by a physician for health complications.
As a women, you definitely want to avoid dangers of fasting with side effects because that’s not what a healthy diet and better qauility lifestyle is all about!

Weight loss diet, diet and dieting…what happens to your weight loss success?

Lose weight and enhancing women’s health…what’s the secret?

It’s a question many women deal with on a daily basis.

What’s the best way to lose weight and keep it off?

Pointers on Losing Weight Safely…

Women who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all think about reducing the amount of food they eat.

This may be a quick solution, not exactly the best choice.

In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to your health.

So how do you lose weight effectively and safely?

Here are some points to consider as a lose weight guide:

Beware of the Crash Diet…

Most women think trimming down calories alone can shed their unwanted excess fat.

Probably this is because of the low carb fad there is in advertising about low-calorie food products and beverages.

What a lot of women don’t know is this could be dangerous because when they decrease their calorie intake way below daily required levels, the body’s organs begin to shut down.

Burning fat requires a lot of energy.

Since there is not much energy to facilitate metabolism of fat, the body will run at a very slow pace resulting in fatigue, illness and weak immune system.

Researchers at California Polytechnic State University say the answer may rest in how your home environment supports you in your weight loss success.

The new study, appearing in The Annals of Behavioral Medicine, has found predictable factors like exercise and control over eating and over eating play a vital role…

So do factors in the home like fewer TV sets and more exercise equipment.

Researchers say people with fewer TV sets have better weight loss success.

Researchers compared people who had lost over 10 percent of their body weight and kept it off for at least five years.

They compared overweight or obese individuals who have been unsuccessful with long-term weight loss.

They found people successful at weight loss:

  • Have a strong commitment
  • Exercised more often
  • Made healthy food choices
  • Healthy eating habits
  • Healthier homes (fewer televisions)
  • More exercise equipment
  • Better quality food…

“You have to pay attention to your home environment if you want to succeed. Do you have a TV in every room? When you walk into your kitchen, do you see high-fat food or healthy food?”

Asked the study’s lead author Suzanne Phelan.

Dr. David Katz from the Yale University School of Medicine says the study proves some markers of success are self-explanatory.

For example: Exercising more and eating more sensibly.

It also highlights the importance of changing your environment to promote a healthier lifestyle rather than just having willpower.

Some health practitioners have suggested an alkaline diet for people trying to shed extra pounds.

It is based on citrus fruits, vegetables, tubers, nuts and legumes.

Remember, as your weight loss coach I’m committed to helping you get better results and enjoy a happier quality of lifestyle success.

The reality is, success weight loss stories only happen as you succeed, so that’s another reason why I’m motivated to help you every step of the way.

Weight Loss Program to Help You Lose Weight

Many available weight loss products and weight loss programs offer quick solutions to weight problems…

How the feeling of frustration arises?

Firstly, you feel frustration when you’re not able to achieve the weight loss target you had set for yourself.

Secondly, you feel frustration when you compare yourself with others and find you’re lagging behind.

While other women have made fast weight loss progress, you still remain where you were earlier.

There are other causes of frustration.

For example: When you misinterpret your own beliefs and capabilities by setting wight loss targets which are too far away from reaching that result.

Do you compare yourself with other women who are more educated or are better equipped with the right resources?

Do you find you’re setting your weight loss target up to levels where you factually could never reach?

And if you’re not able to reach your weight loss targets you get frustrated? 

In fact, you may have already experienced it is very difficult to achieve the desired weight you want.

With your permission, may I suggest before you get into any weight loss program, it is important you check the cost of the whole lose weight session.

Here’s why…almost all weight loss programs have high cost registration fees.

Actually, I’ve researched this topic intensively…

Finding many weight loss programs use aggressive upsells to pressure you into buying weight loss pills (monthy rebills for weight loss diet pill).

And of course, supplements that claim you will have a physically fit body. 

Over 50 million of Americans are engaged in weight loss programs, but only 5 percent sustain the weight they’ve worked off.

Many women think losing weight is easy; they may encounter the struggles of working out and dieting in the course of their weight loss programs.

Many women are still not finding effective ways to get rid of the excess weight in their body.

Finally! When will women realize the fact there is no push button or quick solution to get rid of the excess weight in a short time? 

One solution that is seen by experts to be the answer to weight problems is the change of mindset and lifestyle of a person.

Eating healthy food and having an active lifestyle only proves it is the most effective way to lose weight. 

What weight loss products sold over the counter help in your weight problems?

What weight loss programs enable you to enjoy regular exercise everyday?

All these over the counter options and/or ( over the counter medication) can substantially increase costs and could be a waste of your money too.

If you want to engage in these kinds of programs, it is important you must first get enough information on how good the products or programs work.

How do these products and programs work and are they made to help you feel good as well as others look good in achieving a physically fit body. 

Although weight loss products and weight loss programs have the capability to help you lose the unwanted weight…

It is important that you select the right weight loss program that can truly guide and help you in your quest for a physically fit body.

A healthy diet could be the most rewarding and enjoyable change to help you lose weight in transforming your body and overall health.
