Crash Diet

Of course no one wants to carry around a lot of extra weight. But even though there are a lot of diet programs and weight loss pills that charms you into buying them using carious testimonials from people who have used them, most of them are not long term solutions to your weight problem, it is still best that you first try a natural weight loss program.

If you are really serious about shedding all that unwanted pounds from your body for good, the natural weight loss methods are the way to go. Unlike the popular crash diet programs and diet pills where you will gain back the weight that you lost eventually if you stop using them; with natural methods the weight loss will be more or less permanent.

Change of diet.

The real secret of natural weight loss is to eat the right kinds of foods and to get plenty of exercise. Most of the time, being overweight is a direct result of living an unhealthy lifestyle. By doing some simple lifestyle changes like eating a balanced diet and getting a bit of exercise everyday will do wonders with your health.

One of the best weight loss methods is to replace your diet with mostly fruits and vegetables and reducing your consumption of fatty foods. If you have a healthy digestive system, your body will be able to metabolize the foods that you eat more efficiently. To improve your digestive system's health, eating a lot of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables is the key. Experts say that fiber-rich foods can help clean out the digestive tract, making it function more efficiently, unlike fatty foods which tend to clog up the whole system.

Not only does eating too much fatty foods give you a lot of extra weight and an unflattering figure, there is a whole slew of dangerous diseases that are linked to being overweight or obese, not the least which are heart diseases and diabetes.

Getting enough exercise.

Eating right is not enough, to really lose weight you need to exercise a lot more too, but this does not necessarily mean that you should undergo an extreme exercise routine. Just doing some simple exercises done every day will be able to do the trick to achieve weight loss.

Walking is one of those under-appreciated exercises that are really effective. Don't join in the fight of getting that perfect parking spot that is the nearest to the office building, instead you should park at the far end of the lot and walk the rest of the way. And if you live near where you work you should try walking to the office as much as you can. And if your office is located within 5 floors you should take the stairs instead of the elevator. This will help improve your cardiovascular health and also boost your metabolism. Doing these simple exercises everyday will chip away at all your extra weight, and what's more you need not go to the gym to exercise.

      Hi struggling with weight can be so demoralising I know this first hand. In my first five years of marriage I put on 16kgs. The lack of self esteem which followed was another hardship in itself. I just wanted to stay at home so overeating became part of my daily life until I found the diet solution program. I can say without a shadow of doubt that my self esteem is back to it used to be and I am slimmer than I was on my wedding day.

    • ANSWER:
      It is feasible to lose weight fast but you should be realistic and accept that if you lose weight rapidly then you will almost certainly put it all back on again just as rapidly. I lost 8 pounds during the last couple of weeks when I had a special celebration to attend, and I did it by following the guidance presented on the web resource in the box below.

  7. QUESTION:
    What could be the repercussions of crash diet?
    I am on a crash diet nowadays to loose weight. Many a times i dont eat at all or eat less even if i feel hungry. Could there be serious repercussions if such diet is continued for long ?

    • ANSWER:
      A slow metabolism. Which basically means after you finish you're crash diet and go back to eating normal foods you will pile all of the weight back on instantly. Or if you do it for too long you kidneys and other organs could be in danger. You may also suffer from lethargy because you're not getting your proper vitamins and minerals. Basically in the end up crash diets are a very unsuccessfull, unhealthy way to lose weight and even if you do lose some weight from crash dieting after you stop you'll pack on the pounds before you can say "diet".

  8. QUESTION:
    How long of a crash diet does it take to slow down your metabolism foreveR?
    So, if someone goes on a crash diet of below 1000 calories a day, but they normally have an extremely fast metabolism; how long do they need to crash diet to slow down their metabolism completely.. forever?
    And, is it possibly to gain back your fast metabolism if you've slowed it down for only a little?

    • ANSWER:
      well i have always been a skinny skinny girl since i was young even though i'd eat alot. about a year ago i was going through alot of depression that i wasn't eating anymore because everything tasted like shit to me. i lost so much weight i was a walking skeleton. but when i got help for my depression and started taking anti-depressants, in about 1 month, i gained 11lbs, but i guess my metabolism is back because i can't gain anymore again. so...your metabolism does decrease, but during time, it will get back to your normal fast metabolism.

  9. QUESTION:

      it's called BEAUTIFUL BODY EXPERIMENT, you can Google it. cheers and good luck! :)

  10. QUESTION:
    How much weight could I lose in 10 days with crash diet and exercise?
    Yes I KNOW a crash diet is not healthy, and I KNOW the weight will come right back. Please don't respond with a lecture as I do understand this is only a quick fix and is not by any means a healthy way to lose weight and keep it off. But for those who understand and can help me, I have 10 days and plan on working out on my eliptical everyday and crash dieting. Any advice on details of a good crash diet? Thanks!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Good crash dieting is a lot of fiber, veggies & fruits, and lean meats such as turkey or chicken.

      Think oatmeal & a banana for breakfast, grilled chicken & a salad (with no cheese or croutons) for lunch, and grilled chicken/salmon for dinner with steamed veggies. Have fruits for snacks, or 94% fat-free popcorn (really high in fiber!)

      Drink lots of water between meals to keep yourself hydrated, and don't drink any carbonated drinks. The calories in them are amazing, and carbonation makes you feel hungry. No gum either, chewing signals your stomach to expect food but it won't receive any-which will make you hungry! So have a mint if you feel the need.

      Don't forget a daily vitamin too, just so you get the vitamins you'll be missing out on. It'll keep you feeling healthy & energized every day (although I wouldn't reccommend taking a vitamin without food, it might make you sick to your stomach.)

      Half hour on your elliptical every night & eating high fiber/high protein foods will equal success.

      You shouldn't expect to lose more than 3-5 lbs. in just 10 days time on a crash diet.

  11. QUESTION:
    Can weight stay off after a crash diet if you excercise and eat healthy food?
    And how do you crash diet anyway? what can you eat and how fast can u lose the weight. And if u carry on excercising and eating healthy after that then am sure the weight stays off right?

    cheers!

    • ANSWER:
      Yes weight can stay off along with the excercise and eating healthy food.

  12. QUESTION:
    What sorts of food do you eat during a crash diet?
    I know it's definitely not healthy and there is almost a 100% chance that I will gain that weight back, but I am having difficulty losing more weight (lost about 10-13 pounds) and now I was to lose more instantly, confident that I can keep it off with my workout routine and diet. What are some things to eat that will make me lose weight instantly/how to do a crash diet?

    • ANSWER:
      See a doctor before you do something potentially dangerous. Change your workout routine, eat more veggies and less carbs, eat more lean protein and use low fat dairy because it will help to coat your intestines and flush more fat from your system.

  13. QUESTION:
    How fast do you gain weight back if you go on a crash diet?
    I haven't been on one and I don't plan too (i can't eat like that little or just one thing a day >.<), but people always say, "You'll just gain it back after". And I was just wondering even if you eat healthy, will you gain it back?

    BTW, what is the exact definition of crash diet? I heard it was extreme calorie restriction but things like eating the same food each and everday also a crash diet. Is that true?

    • ANSWER:
      You've got the definition down pretty well. You usally start off strong, losing lots of weight (calorie restriction), then after a few days you break because of the extreme pressure it puts you under. Hence the word CRASH. your plan and weight loss crash, and you gain it back. (plus some, most of the time).

      How fast you gain it back depends on a lot of things. What type of metabolism you have, how active you are, how long you've been on the diet, your genetic make-up, and how healthy you eat on a normal day (not a crash-diet day).

  14. QUESTION:
    What is the best way to recover from a month long crash diet w/o putting weight back on?
    I have been on a month long crash diet (heavily restricted calorie diet) to lose weight for an important event coming up. I realize this was not the smartest way to lose weight but I had no other choice and I realize that rebounding from this might cause weight gain when I increase calorie intake. I do exercise regularly. What is the best way to get my body to re-adjust to a higher calorie intake without putting on weight?

    • ANSWER:
      You can Lose 9 lbs every 11 days after you know these facts:

      Low Fat Foods DON'T WORK.........
      You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

      Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK........
      You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.

      Low Carb Plans DON'T WORK.......
      You'll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.

      In fact,the food that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT!!!

  15. QUESTION:
    Hello, what is the best and healthiest way to lose weight without those crash diet programs?

Is exercise and proper eating the best way? Help, give me advice! I need to know from peoples experience.

  16. QUESTION:
    Is there a crash diet that actually works?
    I feel like I am gaining weight after I lost some over the summer and I don't want to gain it back. The only thing I can think of is a crash diet. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
      after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
      your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
      you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey
      cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your
      diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
      calculate points or to buy special meals or plans.

  17. QUESTION:
    How Long Does it Take to Lose Weight on a Crash Diet?
    I think my friend has decided to starve herself, and I'm really getting worried. She doesn't eat anything I give her and whenever I'm over at her place, she checks the scale every hour or so. I think she's starving herself to lose weight, and though she could stand to lose a bit, it's looking like she's going way overboard. I see her every week and she looks skinnier every time. Still, I'm not SURE that she is. How long does it take to lose weight on a crash diet?

    • ANSWER:
      GET HER OFF OF IT NOW! All she is doing is harming herself and once she realizes it,(if she does) her weight will rebound and get twice as bad! The only way to lose weight is to eat healthy and exercise regularly. This means 5-6 small meals throughout the day to keep your body constantly fueled and not hungry. As well at least 30 minutes of cardio a day will tip the scale towards weight loss. Plus once you start eating right and exercising you will notice a change in your mood and your amount of energy! Hope this helps!

  18. QUESTION:
    How long does it take to crash diet?
    I'm going to a pool party and this amazingly awesome guy is there. I really like him. I'm kinda skinny but I want to be a bit more toned. I've tried running but I'm pretty lazy so it didn't really work. The party is in 9 days and my only choice is to crash diet. How long does any one think it will take to have the body I want? I really want to impress this guy. Thankyou :)

    • ANSWER:
      Okay. If you're already thin, then crash dieting will only make you thinner and likely crankier because of malnutrition. If you want to get "toned" in a very small amount of time, make sure you're getting PLENTY of protein, and reduce your fat intake. Additionally, go to the gym and do 20-30 minutes of weights every day until then. As long as you eat enough protein, you should be fine. Good luck!

  22. QUESTION:
    Is it good to go on a crash diet if you want to lose weight?
    My diet plans haven't been good, and I didn't lose alot of weight. I decided to go on a crash diet and eat only one thing for every meal. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should eat? and how much weight could I lose?

    • ANSWER:
      No, because when you eat normally again the body stores more that because it doesn't know when it's next meal is coming.

      Ideally you shouldn't lose more than acouple of pounds a week if you want sustained weight loss but some people will lose more to begin with depending on their previous diet and amount of exercise compared to when they are dieting

  23. QUESTION:
    Is it true that when you Crash diet you end up gaining all the weight back twice as much?
    What constitutes as a crash diet and why do people say you gain all the weight back and more when you come off them? Does your body go into starvation mode or something?

    • ANSWER:
      It's true, but not only because of the starvation mode. When people are used to eating a lot of crap food and go without for a week or two, they'll purge and eat a TON of it. YOu might kill an entire box of cookies or a quart of ice cream. That's where part of the weight comes from.

  26. QUESTION:
    What crash diet and exercise can i do to lose weight quickly?
    im 22 and weigh over 15stone im 5ft 5 and im a size 20. This is the fattest i have ever been and i feel so ugly and disgusting, i found a photo from when i was 19 and i looked so pretty on it i feel like im not that person anymore and feel like that its so unattainable to ever be that person again, ive always struggled with my weight but ive never been this fat. Im 23 in May and desperatley need to lose weight before this, although im not stupid and i know im not going to lose that much in that short a space of time. Ive been to all the slimming clubs and even the doctors but its not working, i used to make myself sick and really feel like im gonna do it again because i just dont lose weight quick enough on them, i cant afford to go to the gym and feel like people are laughing at the fat cow trying to lose weight if i go running then get puffed out after such a short space, i dont want to hear about crash diets are bad, i want to hear about crash diets that will give results.

    • ANSWER:
      You dont want to hear about crash diets that are bad? You said you weren't stupid.

      Yeah you will loose weight on a crash diet but as soon as you come off it you will put all the weight back on.

      If you want to do it the sensible way(the only way that will work and be permenant) . You need to eat healthy food like fresh fruit and veg, carbs and protein. Don't skip meals because it will only make you hungry and binge on bad foods. Eat one main meal of breakfast, lunch and dinner and if you feel hungry between those times snack of healthy snacks like fruit.

      Never miss breakfast as it is the most important meal of the day and really sets you up for the day ahead. If you miss breakfast your body goes into starvation mode and hangs onto the fat and it will also make you binge later on.

      Drinking lots of water helps keeps your energy levels up, makes your skin nice and clear, takes away bad mood swings, improves concentration and helps you loose weight.

      Exercise is really important as it helps you burn calories. You sound unfit so if you start running you will get puffed out in a short pace of time.You need to get fit to be able to run. Start walking in the park for an hour and once you feel fitter start power walking( a form of fast walking) and gradually build up your fitness. Include walking into your daily life. Walk everywhere. Walk up the stairs to your flat instead of the lift, up the stairs at work/college/university, get off earlier on the bus etc.

      You're 23, you should be out enjoying yourself and feeling good about yourself. Its such a shame not to do anything about your weight if its making you so unhappy.

      I know you said you went to the doctor about your weight, but how about going to the doctor and tell him/her that you have made yourself sick in the past and sometimes feel like doing it, maybe they can recommend you to a specialist.

      Lots of people have been your weight and managed to loose weight, so it's possible for you to do it to. Don't give up whatever you do and if you end up binging on some bad food don't beat yourself up about it, everyone has bad days.

      Good luck! x

The first two days of eating, I gained 10 pounds. :p After that little bit, which was more than likely just digesting food and water, my weight has remained stable. Now I exercise every day of the week, feel great, and have no plans of losing my shape ever again.

  33. QUESTION:
    If I workout regularly and eat properly after doing a crash diet will i gain back weight anyway?
    I know crash diets aren't very smart and I don't need to be told again and again...so please just direct answers to this question.

    • ANSWER:
      Simple answer = no.

      Activity vs. food intake, once corrected will help keep the weight off. I did this and was successful with it. I did Atkins for like 6 months, got all the benefits (short-term), started a good exercise regimen and kept the weight off once I normalized my diet.

      Best wishes, RR

  34. QUESTION:
    If you do a crash Diet and after you lost the weight you exercise and eat right?
    will that help keep the weight lost after the crash diet?

    • ANSWER:
      Depends. If you actually change your diet and exercise regularly you will keep the weight off.

      But a better option would be to slowly change your diet and slowly add exercise to your daily routine. This will allow an easier transition for your body.

  35. QUESTION:
    How to get skinny legs without a stupid crash diet (for free)?
    I love wearing jeans. And straight leg jeans. Sometimes skinnies.
    But newer pairs are getting tighter and tighter.
    How can I get the skinny leg look without doing a stupid crash diet or anything extreme? It's especially my calves and thighs that annoy me. My ankles are skinny, then everything gets fat. :(

    Have a lovely day. xxxxxxxxx

    • ANSWER:
      I would say exercise such as walking and running, and jogging, but kick boxing and doing jumping jax also helps. In terms of diet and crash, probably making a well blend of 50% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 20% fat, but then again this will probably end up making you lose more than just the area on your leg, but it helps. All in all, eating good and working hard is the key, and more relief from stress, I hope this helps. If anything else needed, feel free to ask me more. Take care and have the loveliest day EVER you too.(^_^)

      Exercise more! Play sports in school, play with your friends, anything! Dance, move around, as long as you get your heart pumping and your body working. Walking is good too! As for the diet part, just eat as healthy as you can. I know its hard! But it's possible! Whenever your gonna eat junk food, think to yourself, is this really what i want to do myself? I know you know the answer. So just eat healthier, like fruits and lowfat foods, and excercise as often as possible with anything from sports to just getting outside and playing man hunt with friends. TRY IT!

    eating normal after a crash diet without gaining weight?

I know this effed up my metabolism, but what can I do to fix it how can I eat healthy and not gain back all the weight I lost?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi,

      While some weight may be lost, this weight is usually gained back very quickly in the weeks that follow this diet. On the other hand, the weight can stay off if one exercises and maintains a proper diet afterwards, and watches his/her calorie intake after stopping the diet.

    • ANSWER:
      No you'll gain it all back. To not gain the weight back you'll have to stay on the crash diet forever. You've changed your metabolism there;s no way to eat normally again without gaining. Try going back to normal and starting from scratch with a healthy lifestyle you can maintain.

    How can I lose 20 pounds in 3 weeks without going on a crash diet???
    I need to lose 20 pounds before July comes. I want to lose it without going on a crash diet.

    • ANSWER:
      You should aim for a more realistic goal, like 3 - 6 pounds. 20 pounds would be very difficult and not healthy.

      Watch what you eat and exercise. You'll need to burn 3500 calories more than you consume in order to lose 1 pound.

  42. QUESTION:
    What is the best detox crash diet?
    And don't tell me to eat just fruits and veggies, I mean the liquid crash diets that people are always talking about! I've noticed a lot of ppl hav been doing them like beyonce and other celebs, so which ones are out there and whats the best one?

    • ANSWER:
      Obviously this isn't good, but since no one can really stop you by saying it's not healthy, I'm not going to try. Don't do the liquid crash diet because you'll always be hungry. Instead, try eating all carbs (I know it sounds ridiculous). People don't gain weight because of carbs, though, it's because of everything they put on their hamburger bun or in their pasta. Try eating plain oatmeal for breakfast, white rice for lunch, and pasta for dinner. If you need a snack, eat a banana. This way, you won't be hungry because the soluble fiber in the foods keeps you full, but you'll burn more calories than you'll have eaten. Make sure to keep the portions pretty small and put some fruit in the oatmeal/veggies in the rice so you don't get constipated....

  43. QUESTION:
    What are the symptoms of a crash diet?
    If you can, tell me the symptoms of a crash diet and tell me the resource you got it from

    • ANSWER:
      A crash diet is a diet which is extreme in its deprivations - typically severely restricting calorie intake. Meant to achieve rapid weight loss, a crash diet differs from outright starvation only slightly. Crash diets are typically unhealthy and are rarely - if ever - recommended by doctors or dietitians. Crash diets can lead to malnutrition, and are not a recommended means of weight loss.

      After a person discontinues a crash diet, the "yo-yo effect" is often seen. This causes a person to eat far more than normal, causing them to regain both the weight that was lost due to the diet as well as additional weight. This is caused by an evolutionary trait of the human race that historically only took effect in times of famine: after a famine ended, people's bodies naturally craved to regain both the weight that was lost, plus additional weight as well, in order to protect themselves in case of another famine.

      An example crash diet consists of a daily intake of 4 glasses of skim milk, 4 bananas, and 1 vitamin capsule; a boiled egg may be substituted for a banana. Also, large amounts of caffeine

  46. QUESTION:
    What is the most insane "crash" diet you've ever heard of or tried?
    I was just looking up online on ways to stay at a healthy weight, and found a crash diet forum where someone suggested drinking only water and taking laxatives. Um... wouldn't you die?

    I thought crash diets didn't work - since starving yourself doesn't lose weight. But maybe I'm wrong. ;o)

      At any age, it's unwise to "survive of just apples and diluted orange juice" at the same time you are "plannig on losing 7000 calories (2 lbs) a day in the gym running on the treadmill I am planning to do this for around 10 days."

      It's asking for trouble....

    • ANSWER:
      Look, the reality is that when you lose weight on a crash diet, it's not going to stay off. Everyone knows this, as I'm sure you did when you started crash dieting, and it's no good now deciding you want sustainable weight loss. The only way for that to happen is following a healthy, steady diet, and you chose not to do that.

  49. QUESTION:
    What is considered a crash diet?
    I remember watching a show about a 70-year-old man that lived on some sort of nut and was extremely buff (obviously I don't want to be buff, but somehow those nuts can finish off his hunger). You see, without going on a crash diet, I want to veer my hunger for foods even when I'm not hungry. What do you suggest? I am open to eating the same thing for every meal. But I also want to know the limits.

    • ANSWER:
      A crash diet is any diet that promises you will lose more than 1-2 pounds per week. 1-2 pounds per week is considered the ideal weight loss rate to maintain the weight loss after the diet. Crash diets are ineffective and tend to cause weight gain after the diet, sometimes making you gain more weight than you lost! Ignore crash diets. They tend to cause you to lose muscle mass and because that weighs more than fat, the gains seem great but are actuall highly detrimental. Especially when you consider that muscle is what burns fat, when you burn muscle mass you set yourself up for a fall when the diet is over as you will be able to burn fat less effectively than before the diet. Slow and steady wins the race.
