Hollywood, Kremlin, separate food, raw food diet and diet according to blood type - the choice of diets today is so great that you can try a new diet at least every week. Meanwhile, nutritionists warn that thoughtless experiments often not only turn out to be a failure, but also undermine health. After choosing a diet, consult your doctor and find out all about its contraindications. Even the most common, at first glance, dietary restrictions do not pass without leaving a trace for our body. We found out what threatens us most often during dieting and how to deal with it.
#one. Lack of nutrients
When you radically change your diet, denying yourself a whole group of foods, the body inevitably lacks a lot of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. With a long diet, this translates into weakness, loss of tone and deterioration of skin turgor. If you cannot take the valuable ingredients from the forbidden fruits, find a new source for them.
# 2. Protein deficiency
Protein is the main building material for cells and at the same time, ironically, its synthesis in the body is possible only with the help of amino acids that come with food. Protein is mainly found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. Needless to say, with vegetable and fruit diets, the lack of a valuable component of the diet makes itself felt: performance decreases, immunity worsens, muscle mass goes away. Balanced protein shakes can help you overcome these challenges.
# 3. Bad mood
Any diet is an inevitable stress for the body. In addition to the fact that you deny yourself your favorite foods, you have to rebuild your diet and lifestyle. It is especially hard for those who sit on boring mono-diets and those with a sweet tooth. Bottom line: irritation, loss of energy and depression. Do not forget to indulge yourself from time to time: dried fruits can sometimes replace sweets, and a slice of dark chocolate will complement breakfast.
#four. Dehydration
Unconsciously, we often confuse hunger with thirst. With this trick, our body protects itself, because lack of fluid is much more dangerous than hunger. During the diet, try to drink as much pure water as possible: it will fill the stomach and cheer up. In order to determine the daily minimum of fluid, proceed from the calculation of 30 ml of pure water per 1 kg of your weight.
#five. Loss of skin firmness
Not even a few days of "hunger strike" do not go away as the general condition of the skin deteriorates: it loses its elasticity and healthy color. The fact is that during diets the body lacks fats, which are needed for natural skin hydration and assimilation of fat-soluble vitamins A and E.
