Deep dives

The harm of crash diets for non-overweight individuals

Studies have shown that individuals who are not overweight to start with and undergo crash diets are at greater risk for future weight gain. This can result in a phenomenon known as fat overshoot, where individuals end up gaining more weight and body fat than before starting the diet. Additionally, crash diets that are prolonged for several weeks or more can lead to a loss of lean tissue and increase the likelihood of future weight gain. It is important to find sustainable and maintainable approaches to weight loss.
