Warning on extreme diets
Extreme diets of less than 1,100 calories per
day carry health risks and are often followed by bingeing or
overeating and a return to an obese state. Such diets often have
insufficient vitamins and minerals, which must then be taken as
supplements. Most of the initial weight loss is in fluids.
Later, fat is lost, but so is muscle, which can account for more
than 30% of the weight loss.
Modifying
your diet
Calories are the basic unit of energy within food.
When you eat, your body converts calories into energy. Your body
uses what it can and stores the rest in the form of fat. You should
eat a low-calorie diet if you want to lose weight.
A calorie is a calorie, whether it comes from
a brownie or a serving of raw broccoli. The difference between
them is the number of calories, nutrients, fat, and other ingredients
in a typical serving.
