August 31, PrimaMedia.ru. The desire for a perfect figure often leads people to turn to extreme weight loss methods. However, experts warn of threatening health hazards. Ekaterina Valkova, a gastroenterologist at the FEFU Adult Advisory Clinic, spoke in an interview with PrimaMedia news agency regarding the risks associated with restricting calories in the diet to critically low levels.
Eating very few calories, especially for a long period, can cause serious damage to the body. Such a diet leads to nutritional deficiencies, which can cause fatigue, muscle loss, skin and hair problems, and negatively affect the functioning of internal organs.
You should be very careful regarding the huge number of nutritional recommendations. There are many different diets on the Internet that promise to quickly reduce body weight. In particular, they contain an extremely low daily calorie intake, that is, less than 1,000, which can cause a number of undesirable effects, the expert emphasized.
Some of the main risks of such diets are: mood swings, dry skin, and beriberi. At the same time, kidney stones may appear, as well as a decrease in bone mineral density.
These diets are contraindicated in patients with chronic diseases and can be used in exceptional cases only under medical supervision. In addition, such nutrition can lead to hormonal imbalances and a weakened immune system,” added Ekaterina Valkova.
The specialist also noted that such a diet has a certain “rebound”. When, following a sharp decrease in body weight, it very quickly returns to its original position and may even increase even more.
The doctor recommends avoiding extreme diets and instead choosing a balanced diet enriched with all essential trace elements and vitamins.
Important note: Before making major changes to your training program or diet, it is recommended that you consult with your physician or nutritionist to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the chosen method.
