Guidelines For Extreme Dieting
As much as I am against crash diets, I understand that some people are going to do them regardless of the consequences. So I have decided to provide some tips on how to crash diet while minimizing the negatives.
Now why are extreme diets so dangerous? The biggest down side by far is the massive weight regain that happens because of an altered metabolism. And if taken too far, there can be even worse consequences.
So here is how to minimize the damage of drastic dieting:
1. Learn how to stop. You cannot just stop cold turkey here. A slow phasing out of the diet is your best option. If you simply stop the diet and start eating the way you used to, you will gain a lot of weight very quickly.
2. Take a multivitamin. Any extreme diet is going to leave you lacking in certain vitamins and minerals. So you absolutely have to supplement with a high quality vitamin supplement.
3. Identify your circadian rhythm alerting. Your biological clock will grant you with two times of day when you are most alert. Figure out when they happen and do your most mentally demanding tasks when they activate.
4. Distract yourself when the hunger pangs hit. You will feel some extreme hunger pangs with a crash diet. The best thing to do is distract yourself. I knew a wrestler that used to play video game tournaments during the most tough bouts of dieting.
5. Embrace the rebound.You are going to gain weight once you stop, period. Do your best to minimize the rebound, but do not get down once it happens.
6. Do not do it long term. Even if you are getting outstanding results. Doing so can seriously damage your metabolism. And once your metabolism is haywire, it can take a lot of work to fix it.
Extreme dieting can seriously alter your metabolism if done for too long or if done incorrectly. If you decide to go on an extreme diet, however, make sure to follow my guidelines! - 17274
