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.
What is the worst part? The massive regain of weight once the person stops. This happens because of certain enzymes and because of a damaged metabolism.
So here is how to minimize the damage of drastic dieting:
1. Understand how to transition away from the diet. The biggest mistake extreme dieters make is to simply resume eating the way they used to once they hit their target weight. Huge mistake. You have to slowly phase out of the diet or else you will rebound with a vengeance.
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. Use distraction when the hunger strikes. Go to the mall, do some gardening, watch a movie, etc. Anything that gets your mind off of the hunger. Some top wrestlers usually play video games to get their minds off of the extreme pre-competition dieting.
5. Accept that there will be a rebound. No matter how well you transition off of your diet, there will be a certain degree of weight gain rebound. Expect this and do not get frustrated when it happens.
6. Short term use only. Sticking to a drastic diet long term is a metabolic death wish. You can seriously alter your metabolism in a very negative way. So make sure you use a drastic diet sparingly for short bursts ONLY.
Crash dieting is very tough. And in most cases it is not worth it. Nevertheless, if you decide to go on an extreme diet please follow the tips in this article so that you can minimize the damage. - 17269
