The Big Crash Diet Experiment, the study that rewards crash diets

Crash diet or diet that makes you lose a little weight at a time, but in a longer time? Even if the answer seems obvious to you (buuuuh, crash diet, buuuuuh), the experts based on their clinical knowledge are not all so convinced that the second solution is the best. On the other hand, some encourage those with a lot of weight to lose to follow a drastic, or even a very drastic, diet. Let us think of the case of Doctor Nowzaradan of Vite on the edge: His patients are 150 or 200 kilos overweight, and the doctor uses a protein diet of 800 or 1200 calories maximum to make them lose weight as quickly as possible. This protocol is used by some doctors but not by others. Others prefer to keep the patient at 2000/2500 calories especially in case of severe obesity, even in view of surgery.
One of the advantages of the crash diet is undoubtedly that of motivation: it is better to work harder but for less time and see encouraging results on the scale, than to follow a more permissive diet, even if slightly, and then get on the scale after a week and see a measly half a kilo. But many doctors prefer a more conservative approach – it doesn’t matter how much and how you lose weight if you then get it back.Better to learn to eat a little less and get results little by little

Even from an aesthetic point of view, those on a crash diet will have more problems with emptied muscles and excess skin. This is because the skin loses its elasticity if the weight loss is too fast.
Yet despite the contraindications, the crash diet method is being encouraged by some doctors, including Dr Javid Abdelmoneim (pictured) , who stole four volunteers on a very low-calorie , 800-calorie diet. And not only low-calorie, but also liquid. For nine weeks. The volunteers, all obese people, moved into a house together, so in essence they are telling us that on an 800 calorie diethermitism is the only way. Either you live alone and isolated from the world or it will be difficult to go out and not stop in the pastry shop, or to cook for a family without tasting anything.
This is already a problem, but the experiment, called The Big Crash Diet Experiment, was a success.
The participants lost a lot of weight, in one of the four there was the remission of diabetes mellitus, in another the reduction of hepatic steatosis. But did they gain weight after the experiment? No, they continued to lose it with a less restrictive meal plan, and the success was such that they made it into a TV show.
