Side Effects of Unhealthy Fad Diets

Take a minute and reflect on what might you have exposed your body to unintentionally.

Most of the fad diets are popularly termed as “yo-yo” diets that give you a short term solution to quick weight loss but do not guarantee any long term sustenance of the weight loss. Besides it deprives body of nutrition resulting in low blood pressure, reduced energy and fatigue. If you continue to under nourish your body with an unbalanced diet your metabolism also starts to slow down over time.

The latest trend amongst most diet is a low carbohydrate and high protein diet. The biggest drawback of this diet consuming a diet rich in protein deprives the body of calcium resulting in osteoporosis, especially women in their early to mid thirties. This diet also has a long term effect on regular functioning of the kidney.

Another extremely interesting paradox that every fad diet follower suffers is from reduced metabolic rate due to the poor dietary intake. Being on a constant diet over a period of time slows down your metabolic rate. This is your body’s natural phenomenon of dealing with lack of enough nutrition and food. The body goes into the starvation mode where all the food that is consumed is stored in the body as fat thus increasing your tendency to put on weight even when you are on the fad diet.

But then again have been criticized heavily in media for doing so. Their excuse is that they needed to do because they get paid for looking a certain way. Then why is it that most of us get carried away and follow them blindly even after knowing the side effects of such fad diets.
