Is Rapid Weight Loss Good Or Bad?

The amazing miracle weight loss system that can make you lose 10 pounds in 10 days no matter what you eat! Eat as much as you want, eat more than you want, eat double what you want, and still lose weight without working out! Drop one pant size in a day, but beware because this might work so well you'll pop out of existence! If these advertising claims are true then rapid weight loss is a miracle solution of the modern world, requiring no effort on the dieter's part.

Hogwash! Americans still spend upwards of $40 billion on weight loss products that mostly don't work. Failure doesn't stop new diets from springing up out of nowhere, or people from trying them. Remember Joe Frazier's diet, chew the food but spit it out? He said it made him full and gave him all the nutrients without the fat. See, mimes had the secret to weight loss all the time. Then there are the magic pills, creams, and diet supplements that guarantee to burn pounds without exercise, guaranteed. No that wasn't a typo, they mention the word guarantee so often it starts to lose meaning. And when they don't mention exactly what is involved in the "guarantee" it doesn't have any meaning. It's simply a tricking people to think the product works.

Studies show that Very Low Calorie Diets, or VLCDs, work. People heard this and now try them at home. That's an issue of course because of their nature. VLCD's are extreme diets originally created for seriously overweight people. These diets often include eating half or less of their daily caloric intake. They're designed to be implemented in medically supervised closed settings, where people can't cheat. When used outside of a closed setting, often a clinic called a "fat farm," these diets can be harmful to the dieters health and will generally not work because of binge eating after a period of partial starvation.

Rapid weight loss causes a number of health problems. Gallstones, dehydration, malnutrition and even protein poisoning can develop as a result of the severe caloric starvation involved in VLCDs.

Professionals should be involved during any process of rapid weight loss.
