Things you shouldn't do to lose weight

 

   

Starvation, fasting, or very low-calorie diets: 

Many diets have helped people meet their weight loss goals, only to watch these people celebrate for about 5 minutes then they gain even MORE weight. 

Don’t cut calories below 1,200 per day; otherwise you will struggle to meet nutrient needs, fuel activity, and satisfy hunger. It also causes a shift toward a higher percentage of body fat, which increases the risk for metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

  

Dubious supplements and over-the-counter diet pills that make grand promises 

These are unlikely to be effective, and they’re not necessarily safe or capable of delivering on their claims. 

Over-the-counter diet pills may not appear to be dangerous, but some over-the-counter or Internet products “can be harmful, ineffective, and a waste of money,” . “Most diet pills are nothing more than a quick fix loaded with caffeine and diuretics that can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance," says Diekman, director of nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis.

   

Cleanses or detox plans: 

Cleanses cause weight loss from water and stool weight, at best, but they can be dangerous and carry risks of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and more. 

Losing lots of fluid without medical supervision is risky and when combined with fasting, even riskier. Your body is uniquely fine-tuned to detoxify and excrete toxins, so cleanses are unnecessary and can lead to serious complications by messing with your body’s finely-tuned system.

   

Obsessive behaviors such as extreme exercising

Extreme exercise is physically intense on the body, causing severe wear and tear and increasing the risk for injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance and psychologically turns exercise into punishment for eating.

Its all about balance, remember, fitness should be fun!!! It shouldn't cause you pain or substantial discomfort.
