Popular Methods & Side Effects

 

1. Starvation

 

This method can cause malnutrition and loss of glow and elasticity of hair and skin. More importantly, it can decrease metabolism.Once eating begins again, the body cannot easily process excessive carbs, which will result in more fat.

 

2. Purging

 

This method can lead to acid reflux. The esophagus can also suffer from damage and result in future eating disorders.

 

3. Eliminating fat from diet

 

Fat in foods is not completely bad. The human body needs fat to maintain normal organ structure and supply energy.Complete elimination of fat can cause constipation.

 

4. Fruit diet instead of staple food

 

Eating fruits alone and nothing else can cause nutritional imbalances. Our body needs proteins, iron and other minerals from a variety of foods to function normally.
