Doctor Warns About Negative Health Impacts of Crash Diets

Imagine your body is like a car.

Crash diets are like taking out the engine to lose weight fast.

At first, the number on the scale goes down quickly, but it's mostly water and muscle loss, not fat.

Your body then goes into 'starvation mode', slowing down how many calories it burns.

This makes it harder to lose weight later, and can also cause you to feel tired or get sick easily.

Instead of crash diets, it's better to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly, like fueling your car properly and driving it regularly.
