For both health and appearance reasons, losing weight is commonplace that many people do around the world. To facilitate the loss of excess fat in the body, various diets or dietary patterns have been widely available. Don't confuse choosing from the many diets that exist, adjusting to your body's needs and abilities.
Diet 5:2
5:2 Diet is done by eating normally for five days then fasting for two days in a week. In addition to losing weight, the claimed diet can improve life's lifespan, improve cognitive function, and protect the brain from conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. This Diet also protects the body from a wide range of ailments.
According to one study, the 5:2 diet allegedly could help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes disease by increasing insulin sensitivity. While other studies reveal, the 5:2 diet can help lower the risk of cancer-related obesity and breast cancer. However, the two studies still require further studies and evidence.
The side effects of this diet are the change in mood feeling (irritable), sleeplessness, bad breath, dehydration, and drowsiness during the day.
Dukan Diet
The next diet of various diet that is commonly done is Dukan diet. These diets emphasize high protein diet and low carbohydrate, as well as low fat. The Dukan diet is designed so that you do not feel hungry during a diet. You can choose from 100 different food types (72 animal and 28 vegetable), and are allowed to eat as much as you want, as long as from the 100 type of food. This diet is thought to be able to lose weight by 15 kg in 8-10 weeks.
But don't be happy first, the Dukan diet is not free of side effects. Weight loss is largely due to loss of body fluid and muscle mass. You can experience fatigue, lack of certain nutrients, constipation, bad breath, dry mouth, and increased risk of developing cancer if done continuously.
Paleo Diet
The Paleo Diet only allows you to consume natural foods such as cavemen in prehistoric times. The food is lean meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, grains, and vegetable oils. Foods that should be avoided are dairy products, cereal seeds, processed foods and beverages, salt, sugar, and potatoes.
The Paleo Diet does avoid sugar, salt, and processed foods. But on the other hand, you can get bored quickly because eating feels bland, spending more money because the food should be organic, can even cause inadequate intake of carbohydrates and calcium. More than that, there is no accurate record of how a human diet is prehistoric, and the lack of scientific evidence related to this dietary health claim.
Atkins Diet
Atkins diets lose weight by reducing or not consuming simple carbohydrates at all, but can consume a lot of protein and fat. In theory, when you are starving due to insufficient carbohydrate, the body will begin to burn fat to gain energy. As well as other kinds of diets, this diet can cause side effects, such as nutritional deficiencies, constipation, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, fatigue due to lack of carbohydrates, as well as potentially deficient fibers.
Before you try these kinds of diets above, make sure you consult first with a nutritionist physician. Any dietary adopt can harm the condition and health of the body.
