The Dangers of Dieting
I am writing this article with great concern for the health of people trying to lose weight
. Many patients we see are so desperate they state" I will try anything!" Before you "try anything" please consider the following information.
Weight Loss is a specialty field. Do not trust your health and weight loss to anyone other than a practitioner that can determine the best way for you to lose the weight. This information is based on your past and present health history, your goals, your lifestyle and your support systems you may or may not have. Only then will you know that you may proceed your weight loss with confidence and the assurance that the program will work for you and not just the masses.
Very low calorie diets can be dangerous. It is not healthy to lose weight by starving yourself. You will find that a great portion of your weight loss will come from muscle and bone loss. You will see more skin breakdown as will that can be noticed in your face or other body areas that may have had accumulated fat. Take note that most gastric bypass patients have extreme amounts of excess skin after rapid weight loss. Most of the damage can be accounted for from very low calorie dieting (lack of nutrition) alone. This does not have to happen to you. Rapid weight loss can be achieved with little to no skin or muscle damage. This is accomplished by setting your diet up to burn mostly fat and spare muscle. This also allows for little to no hunger while dieting and energy maintenance.
Weekly monitoring is extremely important while dieting. Monitoring while on a restrictive diet is extremely important. This ensures your health and your progress. Dieting is a lifestyle change and with proper medical program that averages 3-7 lbs of fat loss per week when followed accurately it lessens the time needed to diet and keeps you feeling energized and motivated during the process.
When deciding which diet is best for you ask for the following form the provider:
Will I see a medical doctor?
Do you do lab tests prior to dispensing medications?
If medications are used, what are the side effects?
Do you have special programs for certain health conditions (i.e. Diabetes, Hypertension, Metabolic syndrome X, Chronic Fatigue)?
How will the medications affect my metabolism?
Will I be monitored weekly?
Is a doctor available if I have problems/concerns?
Is there alternative programs based on my lifestyle?
Could I see testimonials from people on and finished with program?
If the diet center cannot provide the information above, I would suggest finding another provider.
