Is Dieting Really Healthy?

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Being overweight is a risk factor for various diseases. That does not by any means imply that slimming down is inevitably healthy.  What is certain is that crash diets are definitely not healthy, because after them, the body eagerly stocks up on nutrients and calories, which start the notorious "yo-yo effect."  Various studies show, however, that drastic dieting may lead to as many health risks as being overweight. Diets confuse the metabolism, which may lead to a disturbance of water balance and the heart's regular rhythm, as well as problems with the liver and gallbladder. A gradual change of diet and regular exercise are far healthier than radical measures.

    In conclusion, dieting is healthy if it is done correctly and gradually. Crash diets are very harmful and could be life threatening. If you are trying to lose weight, it is best to consult with your family doctor before starting a diet.
