Food

Fasting and dieting are not the same thing.

We all want a beautiful figure and a slim body. But sometimes, because of ignorance or desire to instantly get rid of extra pounds, many, on the contrary, harm your body. Having read various articles on the Internet, without passing a comprehensive examination by doctors, people begin to torture themselves with diets, which sometimes are difficult to call. Such attempts to lose weight or quite absurd, or reduced to a hunger strike. Such experiments on the body can lead to very disastrous consequences. So what are the typical mistakes make losing weight, and what are the basics to pay attention to when choosing a diet?

Let's start with the fact that medical fasting exists. But it is called "therapeutic", because it occurs under the full control of doctors and usually in a very short period of time. It is almost impossible to organize such a "useful" hunger strike on your own. This is due to the fact that it is necessary to change the mode of energy consumption of the body, because in the absence of food a person begins to weaken. Many are beginning to starve, but continue to go to work or even worse — to play sports, which, in turn, is very dangerous for your life. But the most dangerous thing is to stop starvation. There is a large amount of evidence that sometimes a sharp exit from the hunger strike led to deaths. Therefore, once again, that starve should be strictly under the control of doctors and extremely short period of time.

When rotting proteins in the body begin to form toxic substances that during the complete absence of new food begin to accumulate in the colon. This leads to poisoning of the body, so doctors before the hunger strike necessarily prescribe enemas.
Do not forget about the fact that for the normal functioning of our body needs a large number of different substances.

For example, proteins are constantly in need of recovery, because they are spent on a huge number of life processes. A striking example of this is the growth of human hair and nails. However, in the complete absence of proteins, their reserves are beginning to be spent on replenishing energy losses.

Another necessary and useful substance — fats. If they contain glycerin the body is still able to synthesize independently, the fatty acids needed for the formation of biologically active substances — no.

Do not forget about the main energy supplier for humans — carbohydrates. In diets, their consumption is reduced, which is why the body has to spend fat to replenish the energy reserve, but you can not completely abandon them.

We have listed only three basic substances, and there is after all still and calcium, magnesium and other macro/trace elements. Therefore, complete starvation always leads to violations of the harmonious work of all human organs. By adhering to a balanced and well-thought-out diets, such situations can be avoided.

We do not say that starvation is categorically bad. There are situations when this is the only option to help a sick person, but for weight loss the best options are diet, proper nutrition and sports.
