Why severe dieting lead to health trouble?

Yes it will...You would be depriving your body and brain of the vitamins it needs to stay healthy. The latest scoop on losing weight, is to feed your body, often during the day. It gets the metabolism working. I heard that it's best to have between 5 and 6 small meals a day, instead of 3 large ones. And drink lots of water. There are so many healthy ways to lose weight; look on the web...you'll find lots. Good luck...but do it the right way and stay healthy. It's not worth it to go on severe or strict diet...

there is no way to keep weight off without being strict on a diet. anything else will eventually be gained back.

Because you start thinking only about food, which you do when you "diet" it makes you hungry. If you're not "on a diet" you don't have to think about food all the time. It's like the old game, "don't think about elephants." So you do.\nThat's why its best to got on a diet that restricts your eating in a clearly defined way. South Beach or Atkins are good. I like Atkins because it focuses on types of foods, rather than quantities. And after a while you will gag at the sight of a steak and don't eat so much.

If you do it too long, you can change the PH of your blood which is in no way healthy.  Also, you can easily risk not getting the minerals, vitamins and fiber you need from fruits and vegetables.  Not to mention the high fat intake that is allowed with Atkins can cause many health problems - like high colesterol.

Well, if you are trying those diets that eliminate complete food groups, you can develop nutrient deficiencies that can lead to broken blood vessels in the face, scaly skin, dark circles under the eyes, patches of discoloration (looks sort of like light liver spots).  Depends on the type of dieting you are doing...

You are used to taking in sugar and carbs for energy, the only problem is the energy you get from sugar doesn't last so you have to keep eating them through out the day.  If you keep eating like this you could end up with diabetes, carbs are the leading cause now because of the sugar and glucose they produce.\n\nIf you can, and I know it's hard cause I went through this with a few people, try to cut back and eat more protein.  Protein fuels the body longer than carbs do and no risk of diabetes!

There are many problems associated with over-exercising. Too much exercising, like too little food can slow down your body's metabolism. When over-exercise is combined with dieting, your metabolism slows down even more. This means your body will start to burn calories more slowly; which for people who are trying to tone-up or trim-down is exactly the opposite of what they want.\n\nFor women, the effects of over-exercise and food reduction can lead to amenorrhea, which is defined as less than three periods a year. A woman who is not menstruating regularly suffers from a depletion of female hormones, especially estrogen. This interferes with the normal metabolism of calcium in the body which will eventually lead to a rapid loss of bone density. Osteoporosis a bone disease in which the bones become more porous and brittle can develop in mid-life as a result of restricting calcium intake through dieting.\n\nFor men and women, the combination of over-exercising and dieting can lead to depressed thyroid activity, disturbed sleep patterns, loss of ability to concentrate, depression, irritability and a depressed immune system. If you have inadequate energy intake and excessive energy output, you may start to burn healthy lean muscle mass tissue for energy. Your ability to maintain intense physical activity therefore decreases, rather than improves.

That is true but some people don't have the will power to do that. There are also mental issues that can affect people's eating habits.

Diet pills are terrible for you and your body. They eat away at your liver worse than alcohol. They can give you heart palpitations and high blood pressure. The only thing diet pills succeed in doing is raping you of hard earned money.

It's not good because then your body begins to use it's fat for energy...and when you start eating again it will cause you to gain more weight than before.

I have also had that problem.  It is most difficult to live like this.  Look for a support group in your area.  Knowing other people suffer from this and are willing to talk about it really helps.  Bulimia is a very dangerous and serious disease to live with.  It can cause you to have serious health problems if not stopped.  Please seek help!  Best of luck and know that you have done one of the hardest things a bulimic does-----you admitted you have Bulimia!!!!

of course it's not healthy. you need to eat a wide variety of foods for optimal nutrition.

Hallo Angel,\nThe problem with diets is that they almost never provide all the nutrients the body needs, they just cut out calories or whatever their particular fad may be.\nIf you don't get the necessary nutrients your body goes into 'starvation' mode and stores fat, no matter how little food you eat.\nGo and see a qualified nutritionist. They can advise you on the right food for YOU to eat, and on what you should avoid.\nThen you can start thinking about some exercise. But first you need to get your nutrition sorted out.\nBless you, Angel. I do wish you all the luck in the world.\nJon C
