Low-calorie diet has serious implications: nutritionist's findings

Doctor Georgy Sapego reminded women on a social network that low-calorie diets invented for those cases when it is necessary to quickly lose weight for medical reasons, for example, for surgery.

If your goal is to gradually get in shape without losing your health, then fasting is strictly contraindicated.

Low-calorie diets are stressful for the body and have many side effects:

• hair will begin to fall out,
• the skin will deteriorate
• the person will be constantly freezing.

The doctor also draws attention to the fact that due to the rapid breakdown of fat, the blood will be saturated with cholesterol. Because the liver has to excrete too much of this substance, stones can form in the gallbladder.

With a low-calorie diet, potassium levels in the blood drop, we don't even know exactly why this is happening.

Who is prohibited from following a low-calorie diet?

• lactating women;
• pregnant women;
• children (they need to grow).
