Risks and side effects of a diet based on calorie restriction
A diet based on calorie restriction is not always safe for the whole world, especially among older adults, younger people and those who are lean. Teenagers, especially, need essential nutrients for good growth or they may not get enough of following a diet based on calorie restriction.
The side effects of a diet based on caloric restriction may include: menstrual irregularities, hormonal changes, reduced bone density, loss of muscle mass.
Recall that a reduced bone density increases risk of bone fracture in a person’s short term and, if it does not take steps to correct the problem, significantly increase the risk of osteoporosis in the long term.
If you follow a diet based on calorie restriction, you can compensate for some loss of bone density and muscle mass by maintaining regular physical activity (for example by walking or jogging) and making sure to get enough calcium and vitamin D.
Excessive calorie restriction and without proper medical supervision can cause anemia, dizziness, depression, irritability, drowsiness, fatigue, swelling of your feet, back weight lost (yo-yo) when you resume a normal diet (caloric restriction without ).
Another important psychological risk involved in caloric restriction is when the person who adopts does not realize the principle behind calorie restriction. When weight loss is the only effect desired, and not a life better and longer, there may be consequences. The combination of anorexic tendencies with caloric restriction unscientific is very unhealthy because it’s not just the calories are reduced, but also foods rich in essential nutrients. This is in no way intended to a diet restricted in calories.
