Rapid Weight Loss - A Simple Guide
Dr. Amazo’s medicinal drink not only dissolves fat, but gives you energy! Get rid of a lifetime of stored toxins and waste materials that cause you to be fat! Lose 10 pounds in 10 days without dieting or physical activity! Believe these claims or not, rapid weight loss and diet products make them constantly, and even more bold claims.
Hogwash! But even though they mostly aren’t true, Americans spend over 40 billion dollars a year on rapid weight loss pills, programs and products that simply don’t work. That doesn’t stop people from coming up with all sorts of crazy diets and weight loss schemes. Remember Beyonce’s starvation “master cleanse” diet? It consisted of taking in nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water. Seriously! It also claimed to cleans the system from years of built up toxins. Who knew, maple syrup destroys toxins. Next time a poisonous snake bites someone have them eat some pancakes. Then there are the magic pills, creams, and diet supplements that guarantee to burn pounds without exercise, guaranteed. No that wasn’t a typo, they mention the word guarantee so often it starts to lose meaning. And when they don’t mention exactly what is involved in the “guarantee” it doesn’t have any meaning. It’s simply a way of making people think the product works.
Studies show that Very Low Calorie Diets, or VLCDs, work. People got wind of this and now try them at home. That’s a problem because of their nature. VLCD’s are extreme diets designed for seriously overweight people. These diets often have people eat half or less of their daily caloric intake. They’re meant to be implemented in medically supervised closed settings, where people can’t cheat. When used outside of a closed setting, often a clinic called a “fat farm,” these diets can be dangerous to the dieters health and will generally not work because of binge eating after a period of partial starvation.
Rapid weight loss program, if it works, creates a number of problems with the body. Painful Gallstones develop in up to 25% of people who lose large amounts of weight over a few months. Uneducated dieters can often become dehydrated because they don’t realize a large portion of the water people need to drink comes from foods. It’s easy to compensate for this by drinking more water. Malnutrition can develop from not eating enough protein over a long period of time. The body can even become unable to process protein, which leads to serious illness and even death.
Professionals should be involved during any process of rapid weight loss.
