Quick, rapid and accelerated are all terms we have heard in conjunction with weight loss. All of these can be dangerous for you. Ladies are all trying to fight the good fight and fit into those skinny jeans. Some even declare, "I am going to loose this weight even if it kills me, not knowing that one wrong choice and it just might. If the claims of the latest diet of the week seem too good to be true, if what that pill promises goes against all that is natural. Run for the hills, babe, it isn't worth it. Fad diets are really dangerous and most importantly they do not work. Oh you may see some fantastic results, or what seems like results. Only what happens with most of these is you end up loosing lean muscle mass instead. After you have sent your body into starvation mode, the minute you eat anything at all it will store it and never want to let it go. It is extremely possible on some of these diets that, though you eat hardly anything at all you will still gain weight. It sounds like something that should be impossible, right. Wrong the body is designed with a few fail-safe devices for self-preservation and they are primal. Liquid diets like Optifast and Slimfast that say they offer you all of the vitamins and minerals that you need to remain healthy. That may be true and you will lose the weight very quickly. That little thing that was mentioned about the body and its self-preservation, well this is when you get to see it in action. The moment you go back to eating your body will start to immediately convert all the food to fat it will burn maybe a third for fuel and store the rest. Another side effect of this type of rapid weight loss is a metabolism that has slowed down even more than it was to begin with. This slowed metabolism is also a part of the auto-defense mechanism that is inherent in all of us. So you go back on this liquid feat and what is likely to happen is that you suffer from kidney or lung damage after a while. This liquid diet could even impair the immune system. A liquid diet is the slow road to death. Then there are the low carbohydrate diets like those from South Beach and Atkins. Lack of carbohydrates comes with its own set of issues that could prove to be life threatening over time. Not to mention the constant fatigue and general lack of energy, add that to increasing you risk for some forms of cancer, and you really have to ask yourself is it worth it. There is one tried and true method of losing weight that has virtually no side effects and does not you any harm at all. Healthy eating and increased activity will keep you healthy and strong while you get thinner. You can actually eat your way to a slim figure. It is not that you it is what you eat. Certain foods will make your metabolism and actually increase and begin to burn fat like you never thought possible. A word of advice: get with your physician to determine that you are healthy enough to start a vigorous exercise program and change the way and what you eat. The results will be slower but they will last longer. Copyright (c) 2011 Joe Maldonado
