Slim Figure Vs Starvation diet and their side effects

A slim and trim figure is considered a sign of good health and such a figure also attracts people. However, to get a perfect figure and maintain it the diet has to be controlled, along with daily workouts,  which is not possible for many people, especially exercising. In such conditions, dieting seems to be the best option for many people. If you are dreaming of skipping exercise and becoming slim only through dieting, then no doubt you will become thin, but at the same time, you can also become a victim of many problems.  

Some people find the option of dieting easy to lose weight quickly and reduce the fat accumulated on the waist and stomach, but this option can cause great harm to your health. It is right to reduce the amount of food but it is absolutely not right to remain hungry for hours. 

The harm caused to health by dieting: 

1. A starvation diet: It involves staying hungry for hours, which is increasingly being adopted by people who want to lose weight these days. Due to a starvation diet, the amount of calories in the body starts decreasing, due to which the body starts using fats as primary energy. Due to this metabolism slows down. If your metabolic rate is low, no matter how hard you try, your weight does not reduce. Secondly, because of this one keeps feeling tired and weak all the time. 

2. Effect on mental health: According to experts, starvation and dieting can increase the risk of eating disorders. This means that some people feel more hungry, while some people lose their appetite completely. Dieting for a long time can lead to the problem of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder, due to which the mood remains irritable, anger increases and the stress level also increases.

3. Nutritional deficiency: Not eating food causes a deficiency of vitamins, minerals, calcium, and protein in the body, which are necessary to run many functions of the body. Along with health, the effect of lack of these nutrients can also be seen on skin and hair. 

The right way to lose weight: 

1. For healthy weight loss, there is a need to balance the meals instead of skipping them. 

2. Eliminate unhealthy fats from the diet and replace them with lean proteins, vegetables, and whole grains. 

3. Drink an adequate amount of water. 

4. Get enough sleep. 

5. Take out 15-20 minutes daily for exercise.
