Can I lose weight by starving myself

People who want to lose weight want to have a perfect body quickly, but losing weight is a gradual process. Many friends will ask, can starving yourself help you lose weight? In fact, it is not recommended to lose weight by starving yourself, because this method is very bad for your health and it is also very easy to rebound. For details about the adverse reactions caused by starving yourself to lose weight, please see the following content.

1. Lack of energy

The human body requires at least the necessary energy every day to meet basic physiological functions and ensure the safe and efficient operation of various organs in the body. Otherwise, the body's protein will be consumed and metabolic disorders may occur, which may be life-threatening in severe cases. Among them, carbohydrates are the best and most direct source of energy. Too low carbohydrates will seriously affect the body!

2. Insufficient protein

As we all know, the basic unit of the human body is the cell, and the main component of the cell is protein. Since every organ involves protein, when we do not take in enough high-quality protein, it will affect the function of the entire body. The skin becomes dull, lusterless, and prone to aging (loss of collagen); metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders, and acne (enzymes and hormones cannot be fully produced); resistance decreases (lack of antibodies); severe deficiency may cause edema (osmotic pressure cannot be adjusted).

3. Insufficient vitamins

Lack of vitamin A can easily cause gastrointestinal and urinary tract infections, and even affect the reproductive system. Lack of vitamin B will reduce carbohydrate and fat metabolism, making it easy to become obese. Lack of vitamins can hinder collagen synthesis and affect skin elasticity and radiance. The body's detoxification function is impaired. Resistance is significantly reduced.

4. The basal metabolic rate decreases, making you prone to obesity and prone to rebound.

Everyone says the more you lose weight, the fatter you get. The truth is this "effect" of dieting to lose weight. Dieting and starving will reduce the body's metabolic rate and activate the body's protective mechanism. Simply excessive dieting will only cause the body to lack the nutrients it needs, resulting in a decrease in immune function and affecting physical health. Over time, you will feel tired, weak and irritable, and increase the probability of contracting epidemic diseases.
