Generally, vegetables and fruits contain little calcium, and more importantly, almost no fat, which will lead to disorder of hormone secretion in the body, affect the combination of calcium and bone, and easily lead to osteoporosis. A study in the United States found that after dieting 18 months, women lost 7 pounds, but their bone density also decreased.
lose hair
Dieting to lose weight will lead to a shortage of body fat and protein for people who are too thin, so their hair will fall off frequently and their hair color will gradually lose its luster. If you go on a diet too much, your hair will lack enough nutrition. If your hair lacks iron intake, it will be yellow and dull, and the final result will inevitably be a lot of hair loss. Therefore, it is necessary to balance nutrition and not blindly diet to lose weight.
Memory loss
The main motivation for brain work comes from fat. Eating too little leads to insufficient fat intake and storage in the body. Lack of nutrition in the body seriously damages brain cells, which will directly affect memory, so people are easy to forget. Some data show that patients who lose too much weight are often accompanied by memory loss. Therefore, we must be cautious about dieting to lose weight.
anorexia nervosa
Fennie Yuen, a Hong Kong artist, suffered from anorexia because of losing weight. She didn't eat or feel anything for several days, and her weight once dropped to 3 1kg. She once told the media that suffering from anorexia made her feel world-weary.
Anorexia has the highest mortality rate and is also one of the most serious mental diseases! Although faced with the possibility of starvation, I still choose to go on a diet to lose weight, and I am not allowed to eat enough food to get the energy and nutrition my body needs to stay healthy. The health risks of anorexia are: gastrointestinal problems, decreased immunity, heart problems, organ failure and so on.
The experience of bulimia is that when you feel sad or worried, you will unconsciously want to eat a lot of food, so that you will be comfortable. But then you will feel guilty and ashamed and want to get rid of the food you have eaten. The most common method is vomiting, which can damage the esophagus and stomach. There was once an adolescent boy who had a habit of vomiting for a long time because of eating disorders. In an interview, he said, "The behavior of vomiting after meals gave me a sense of control and felt that I was very valuable."
Dieting itself can also lead to failure, low self-esteem and social anxiety. Although many obese people are overeating and depressed, these psychological and behavioral phenomena are caused by dieting.
