To lose weight, there is only one rule: burn more than you consume. This means that you have to burn more and consume less in less time to lose weight fast. But is doing that healthy?
There are many methods used to lose weight quickly: fasting, high protein diets, diets based on a single food, and those that involve a very low-calorie consumption.
The risks
The most common consequences are dehydration, nausea, fatigue, liver and kidney overload, muscle damage, weak bones, and eating disorders. In addition to the famous rebound effect, one tends to gain all the weight as fast as lost it once you stopped the diet. The reasons are as varied as their consequences.
For example, the high protein diet consists of abandoning carbohydrates (important energy) and only eating foods with little fat and a high percentage of protein. This can lead to dehydration and liver and kidney overload.
