Lose weight quickly with very low calorie diet programs
This type of diet involves a very low intake of calories in order to lose weight. The calorie intake is as low as 800 calories and even lower. But the goal is to have nutritional balance even with low calorie intake. This type of diet is taken under the medical supervision of a medical practitioner. The diet consists of soups, drinks or bars instead of meals. However, this kind of diet is taken for a very short period to reduce weight and then the dieter has to stick to a healthy diet after making certain lifestyle changes.
Remember, a very low calorie diet is safe for people who have body mass index BMI of 30 or more. Hence, it is advisable to find out your BMI index and then proceed for this diet.
There are certain side effects of these very low calorie diet programs. Some of the side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue. But there is no need to worry about these side effects to the extent they don’t become serious. Many people, especially women have been complaining about formation of gallstones due to low calorie intake. However, there is no clear evidence to prove that rapid weight loss is the cause of gallstones.
Tips for low calorie diet:
1. The very low calorie diet must be taken for a very short period, say few weeks.
2. Make necessary changes in your life style before you go off the diet.
3. When you are off the diet, eat healthy and stick with your changed life style.
4. Perform regular exercise to stay healthy.
5. Contact your doctor at regular intervals.
