Fad diets are more dangerous than we think
Fad diets that promise quick weight loss may be a tempting solution for many, but the Hungarian Dietitians’ Association warns: these methods can carry serious health risks in the long term.
Such diets often radically reduce calorie intake or eliminate entire food groups from the diet, which can cause nutritional deficiencies, metabolic problems and the dreaded yo-yo effect. According to dietitians, the key to sustainable weight loss is a balanced diet and regular exercise, which is also supported by the Hungarian OKOSTÁNYÉR® nutritional guidelines.
Fad diets often contain extreme restrictions, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies, weaken the immune system and harm the health of hair, skin and bones. Methods that promise quick weight loss often have a yo-yo effect, as strict diets are not sustainable in the long term, so the lost pounds can quickly return. In addition, strict calorie restriction can slow down your metabolism, making it even harder to lose weight.
These diets can be dangerous not only physically but also psychologically. Dietary restrictions can lead to frustration and disappointment, which can negatively affect self-esteem in the long run. Furthermore, some diets can contribute to cardiovascular problems by increasing cholesterol levels or blood pressure by excessively restricting certain nutrients.
