The expert spoke about the dangers of express diets

In summer, Russians often resort to express diets in an effort to lose weight quickly, but these approaches provide only a temporary effect and can cause significant harm to health. Sayyar Abdulkhakov, a gastroenterologist, told about this on July 29.

"Drastic calorie restriction or exclusion of entire food groups can lead to disruption of the digestive tract and provoke stress for the whole body," the doctor shared in an interview with the newspaper.Ru».

According to the expert, express diets work by severely restricting calories, which leads to temporary weight loss. However, they do not solve the main problem — poor nutrition and lack of a healthy lifestyle.

"The body perceives drastic restrictions as a threat, launching an energy-saving mode. After returning to the usual diet, the weight is not just restored, but often exceeds the initial one due to a broken metabolism," said Abdulkhakov.

According to the doctor, if you are overweight, the safest and most effective way to reduce it is to consult a doctor. A specialist will help you develop an individual nutrition plan that takes into account the characteristics of your body, adjust your metabolism and ensure the intake of all the necessary trace elements.
