| Posted: 29 Jun 2011 05:02 AM PDT There aren't any quick fixes when it comes to weight loss. Every fast fat-burning technique out there has some sort of side effect. Extreme diets are the oldest extreme weight loss techniques in the book. They can also lead to some serious problems. If you don't get enough calories each day, you'll be fatigued and listless. If you cut out certain core nutrients, you could become malnourished. That includes fat, which is vital to survival. Harsh diets aren't sustainable in the long run.
Diet pills are a miracle of modern medicine, a cure for the “ailment” in our age of excess. Pop some pills and watch the fat melt away – that's not far from the truth. Diet pills can work pretty well, but this extreme weight loss technique always comes with side effects. Most of them hit your appetite at its source: your brain. They are essentially thinly veiled amphetamines – speed in prescription form. They'll do a number on your appetite, but they can also be addictive and destructive.
Imagine the condition of your large intestine after a long time of eating unhealthy foods when disregarding healthy diets that are rich in fruits and vegetables. The walls of the intestine become blocked by waste materials, which cannot be eliminated because of the lack of fiber. The removing of those extra pounds of waste products accumulated inside the body is the initial weight loss that most people experience when beginning a colon cleansing program. The process helps to flush out all the toxic substances & enables the digestive system to revamp its functions of absorbing the essential nutrients into the body. There are a lot of positive reports from people who have tried colon cleansing for weight loss and proved its effectiveness. Maybe you will be surprised to know that numerous users have confirmed the facts of losing weight ranging from 10 to even 30 pounds during a period of one month! Although doctors prescribe colon cleansing as preparation for medical procedures such as colonoscopy, most don’t recommend colon cleansing for detoxification. In fact, colon cleansing can sometimes be harmful. Your digestive system and bowel naturally eliminate waste material and bacteria — your body doesn’t need colon cleansing to do this. Proponents of colon cleansing, on the other hand, believe that toxins from your gastrointestinal tract can cause a variety of health problems, such as arthritis, allergies and asthma. Cause a rise in your electrolytes, which can be dangerous if you have kidney disease or heart disease and increase the risk of infection.
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss drug that blocks the absorption of fats into the digestive tract. Less fat means fewer calories and, hopefully, weight loss. The drug works by inhibiting a pancreatic, fat-dissolving enzyme. When taken three times daily before meals, it blocks about 30% of the fat you eat. That fat then passes harmlessly through the digestive tract. Orlistat isn't very effective. In yearlong clinical trials, the drug reduced body mass by about 5%, but only for half of the participants. And when they stopped taking the drug, they gained some of the weight back. The drug has been known to cause diarrhea, gas and, on occasion, fecal incontinence.
A very popular method in US is the gastric bypass is the oldest procedure in the United States. The average weight loss is about 1 lb a day for the first 3 to 4 months. It is a very powerful treatment for diabetes and has been shown to be able to cure type II diabetes in up to 80% of patients. The surgery can be nasty. Stapled stomachs can leak and cause infection. Tiny stomachs simply can't absorb as much as full-sized ones. Within a few years, patients typically lose 50% to 60% of their excess weight.
Liposuction is the fastest way to lose weight. It's also the most traumatic. The gory details: You'll be shaved for surgery, then either numbed or put under, depending on how much blubber is being removed. A quick incision and brace yourself for the vacuum, called a cannula, which sucks the fat clean out. It's torn from your body, capillary blood vessels and all, and thrown in the trash. Expect to wear compression garments for up to four weeks to keep the swelling down. If everything goes smoothly, you'll be svelte in six weeks. But there could be numbness, bumpy or wavy skin, and scarring. Liposuction is not as quick or easy as you'd think. It does, however, work to lose the fat. If you return to your bad eating habits and don’t start an exercise program to maintain your new body, the fat that was removed will just return.
Hoodia is a succulent from Africa. It has been used for generations to deal with indigestion and even infection. Some also claim that it suppresses your appetite. In 1977, the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) discovered that the active ingredient in hoodia, now called P57, has an appetite-suppressant effect. Hoodia extract is available today as a natural way to lose weight and curb your hunger.
It is undeniable that people will resort to extreme measures in a desperate attempt to shed those extra pounds, but ingesting tapeworms in order to lose weight is not only a radical method but also an extremely dangerous one. Thankfully the use of tapeworms as a diet aid is illegal in the US and for good reason. Tapeworm infestation can result in the formation of cysts in the liver, eyes, brain, and spinal cord with potentially lethal consequences. Although it is not possible to attempt the Tapeworm diet in most countries, it is being offered at some places in Mexico. When you arrive at the treatment location you are given beef tapeworm cysts that have been identified microscopically. This is vitally important because some cows may host pig tapeworms, which are very dangerous. The tapeworm interferes with your digestion and absorption of nutrients, which means that you can consume more calories and still lose weight. However the parasite also competes for vitamins and other important nutrients, which may result in a nutritional deficiency. According to some scientists, tapeworm infestation can result in a loss of one to two pounds per week. Once the target weight loss is reached, an antibiotic is given, which kills the tapeworm so it can be expelled.
Cookie diet refers to a special low-calorie diet based on a hunger-controlling meal replacement in the form of a proprietary cookie. There are a number of cookie diets currently on the market, such as the Smart for Life Cookie Diet and Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet. All require 4 to 6 cookies per day, sometimes in addition to other food, such as one meal of six ounces of meat in the case of the Siegal diet. Along with the lean meat choices, the diet allows one cup of vegetables with dinner. Red meats are discouraged because of their high fat content. The rest of the diet consists of exactly six hunger-suppressing cookies per day, which are baked in Siegal’s own bakery in Miami and available only to patients in Siegal’s clinics. The cookies are not for breakfast or for lunch, but rather for whenever the dieter is hungry, though they must eat six a day. The six cookies, plus the one dinner, adds up to 800 calories. Dieters should also consume eight glasses of liquid a day, which includes coffee and tea. Critics say the diet’s requirement of 800 calories a day is too low, and that it lacks nutritional staples that give us the vitamins and minerals we need.
Fruit and vegetable diet sounds lucrative and full of promises at first, there are a few concerns regarding this diet. This diet plan is extremely lacking in proteins and fatty acids, which are essential nutrients for the body. Thus, following this diet plan exclusively for a few days is bound to make you weak, dizzy and lightheaded. Lack of concentration and exhaustion are some other side effects of this diet. Hence, it is a must that you supplement your diet with lean meat or fish or dairy to fulfill your protein requirement. If that is not possible, you should rely on protein supplements. While you are on this diet make sure you consume fruits and vegetables in their most natural form. Eating them raw is the most beneficial option. Cooking vegetables beyond 118 degrees F causes them to lose all their nutrient content. Similarly, fruits must be consumed whole instead of juices. Generally, you should have 9 small and frequent servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet. While beginning any new diet plan, it is important to consult your doctor. You should also inform him/her regarding the medications you take as iron in vegetables may interfere with certain medications.
A diet that has at least criticism is “The Eat Right for Your Type.” This diet encourages people to eat certain foods and avoid others based on their blood type — A, B, AB, or O. Peter J. D’Adamo, ND, the author of Eat Right for Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your Ideal Weight, believes blood types affect the digestive system and that some foods good for people of one type are “dangerous” for another. It goes further than that for D’Adamo, a naturopathic doctor, who believes that your blood type also determines your susceptibility to certain illnesses and how you should exercise. This diet may suit those enthusiastic about a plan that doesn’t involve tracking calories or fat grams, while others may find it difficult to stay within the diet’s confines, a challenge made greater if more than one person in a household follows the diet – and has a different blood type. If you’re blood type O (“for old,” as in humanity’s oldest blood line) your digestive tract retains the memory of ancient times, says D’Adamo, so you’re metabolism will benefit from lean meats, poultry, and fish. You’re advised to restrict grains, breads, and legumes, and to enjoy vigorous exercise.
Type A (“for agrarian”) flourishes on vegetarian diets, “the inheritance of their more settled and less warlike farmer ancestors,” says D’Adamo. The type A diet contains soy proteins, grains, and organic vegetables and encourages gentle exercise. The nomadic blood type B has a tolerant digestive system and can enjoy low-fat dairy, meat, and produce but, among other things, should avoid wheat, corn, and lentils, D’Adamo says. If you’re type B, it’s recommended you exercise moderately.
The “modern” blood type AB has a sensitive digestive tract and should avoid chicken, beef, and pork but enjoy seafood, tofu, dairy, and most produce. The fitness regimen for ABs is calming exercises. D’Adamo rejects the idea that one diet fits all. The right diet for your blood type comes down to lectins, food proteins each blood type digests differently. If you eat foods containing lectins incompatible with your blood type you may experience inflammation, bloating, a slower metabolism, even diseases such as cancer. The best way to avoid these effects is to eat foods meant for your blood type.
