Recent medical studies have collected many risks of rapid weight loss, especially those that allow to lose about 4 kilograms in one week.
Gallbladder problems: When you follow a stiff diet, yellow sludge tends to appear. This in turn can turn into gallstones. Often these stones appear after a severe diet can cause you discomfort and pain.
- Loss of muscle mass: Our body usually burns the last fat that we have stored in our bodies and this is a bit unfair. Unfortunately, a severe diet where calories are greatly reduced can lead to muscle loss and this is unhealthy.
Eating disorders: Overweight people tend to eat more calories than their bodies can burn. However, it is very easy to slip into an EID when you want to lose weight immediately. Anorexia and bulimia are just two types of eating disorders and afflict many people, mostly teenagers who criticize their weight.
- The lack of vitamins and minerals is important for our body because it helps in ensuring that all organs work properly. Unfortunately, when we tend to a restricted diet, we actually get rid of the essential foods in our diet that can provide us with important nutrients, and therefore we start to lose energy quickly and are prone to suffering from common diseases such as colds, coughs and the like.
Losing weight is healthy and good as long as you lose about two kilograms per week. Even greater loss can put you at risk, especially when you continue on that path for months.
