However the moment a word 'Diet' is heard most people often misinterpret it as starving in the name of dieting! Now balanced Diet means being aware to eat from all food groups every day as per your body type and lifestyle consuming sufficient calories that supply all the essential nutrients to help nurture all your organs, skin, tissues, muscles, bones, cells etc. Eating right regularly and not once in a while has a significant role in making you achieve some of your wellness goals.
But crash dieting does have side effects which people need to be conscious about that is explained in this post. Crash diets/Fad diets/Green diets/Zero carb diets/Mono diets/Tea diets/Soup diets/Protein diets/Nature cure there are so many forms!
All these can also be termed as 'starvation dieting' which involves cutting off the amount of food intake to a larger extent without looking at the nutrient loss. Most dieting repackaged plans rely on three basic principles: pushing or banning a specific food or food group which may be harmful on health in the long run.
