In the spring, many people are exacerbated by a maniacal desire to lose weight for the holidays. In an effort to find a "beach figure", some are thrown into all serious. The expert told about the most dangerous and useless ways to lose weight, as reported by the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years Pannochka. net Mikhail Zeygarnik, a dietitian of the highest category, executive director of the National Nutrition Society, chief physician of the clinic "Nutrition and Health", Ph.D., warns against the reckless steps of the owners of the unsettled forms so far.. So, you make a mistake if:.

Trying to lose weight on laxatives. Yes, with the help of these drugs you can simultaneously reduce the weight to 2-4 kg. And even get into your favorite jeans a couple of sizes smaller. But. do not lose weight. The fact is that the laxative removes intestinal contents from the body and a large amount of water. But not a gram of fat! The laxative acts as an internal enema: first the laxative strengthens the flow into the lumen of the intestine of water from its blood vessels, due to which the contents of the digestive organ softens and quickly exits. Moreover, if you continue to entertain in the same way - eat and take a laxative after a meal - will begin dehydration of the body and a sharp loss of important minerals, primarily potassium. What is fraught with even a fatal outcome. You take diuretics with the same purpose. The mechanism of action is approximately the same as in the first case. The person extensively expels water, due to this the weight decreases. In this case, since the majority of diuretics significantly remove potassium from the body (first comes the potassium, followed by water), there is a risk of seriously disturbing the electrolyte balance in the body with all the ensuing. The loss of potassium is most sensitive to the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Hoping to find pills that reduce appetite. In fact, there are no such drugs legally today. The last such tablets were made on the basis of sibutramine. Now it is banned all over the world and we too. It turned out that by inhibiting certain kind of receptors in the brain, the tablets cause a side effect in the form of depression. And the depression is such a force that it was recorded several hundred cases of suicide against the background of taking such drugs. As a result, the manufacturer himself removed them from production.

Take other miracle pills for getting rid of fat. For example, based on orlistat substance. The drug really works, it blocks enzymes that digest fats, so that fats can not absorb and leave the body in the same form as they were. As a result, the amount of fat consumed is significantly reduced. Seems alright. But there are two nuances. First, the side effect of taking such a drug is a diarrhea. Fat causes a laxative effect, leaving the intestine. Not dangerous, but unpleasant. Secondly, since fats are not absorbed, fat-soluble vitamins - A, D, E and K, are not absorbed.. Therefore, those who take this drug for a long time, you need to use the special forms of these vitamins, which can absorb without fat. And, frankly, it's really an unnatural way to correct weight. Easier to reduce the amount of fat in the diet. You lean on the so-called "fat burners". This is a pure myth. There are no substances that have the property of burning fat. Some time ago, such qualities were attributed to bromelain, which is a lot in pineapples. However, this enzyme does not burn fat at all, but acts similarly to the enzymes of the stomach, which promote the digestion of the protein. And it is promoted, not digested. By the way, for the same reason it is good to eat meat with pineapple - it will be easier to digest. No other mythical tropical fat products are also burned. Fat burns in the body as a result of certain chemical reactions. Their speed and intensity are regulated by the genes and the body's need for calories at the moment.

Dream of losing weight, sweating for hours in the gym and not changing food. Yes, the physical load burns fat. But not all. Of the calories that burn in the body, only 20% "go" to our physical activity, and the remaining 80% of energy is spent on maintaining your own body needs, which are only genetically programmed. This maintenance of body temperature, breathing, blood circulation - everything that we do not control. Therefore, it is so difficult to lose weight with only physical exertion. You start to eat a little, and also to use any half-starved and mono-diet. If you severely limit yourself to nutrition and even starve, you can actually lose weight. But. the organism is intelligent. And sometimes smarter than his master. If he understands that suddenly the supply of calories with food has decreased drastically (deciding, for example, that the "hungry time" simply came), then instead of spending energy on his constant activity, he will start to store these calories. Strategically, so to speak. What happens: a woman, reducing the caloric intake of the diet 3-4 times, that is, eating some unfortunate 400 calories a day instead of the prescribed 1800, all these 400 calories receive in the form of stocks of fat. And for the sake of energy, the body starts to burn everything that comes. Basically, muscles. Therefore, the quality of the skin is sharply disturbed - the organism takes from it the protein to split it into energy. But his own fat, he does not split, even if there are excess reserves. Because he believes that he was "put in a camp".

So such a sharp restriction in food can cause a completely unexpected result. Plus, a normal person can not eat all the time. Either he goes into anorexia, or sooner or later he will leave the hunger strike. And then the organism will say "okay, finally give food" and begin to store it even more intensively. Do not limit calories below a certain level. And that was not hungry at a reasonable reduction in the caloric content of the diet, you must eat more often and gradually.
