Is the GM diet safe (Freepic)

YOGYAKARTA - Diet General Motors (GM) can be a diet method choice for those of you who want to lose weight. The GM diet is also often referred to as a flash diet that is believed to be able to reduce weight drastically.

The GM diet is claimed to lose up to 7 kilograms of weight in just one week. The decrease in BB is quite fantastic because on this diet you have to limit the menu and portion of food for one week.

With offers to lose weight drastically, this diet is certainly tempting for some people. But many also question whether GM's diet is healthy? Lightning weight loss methods are indeed interesting, but behind that sometimes there is a separate impact on health.

The GM diet is a diet that requires you to plan low-calorie food intake but is high in nutrients for 7 consecutive days. Initially, the GM diet was specially designed for General Motors employees in 1985. But over time, this diet began to be implemented by the general public.

The GM diet generally consists of variety of fruits and vegetables. For example, on the first day, you are only allowed to eat fruits. Then on the second day, you only eat vegetables and so on.

Some people are interested in going on a GM diet because they want to get benefits. Here are a number of GM diet benefits that you need to know:

Although the weight loss method is carried out naturally with restrictions on eating, the GM diet is not necessarily safe for everyone. The GM diet does involve consuming healthy foods, but its restrictions and imbalances can cause nutritional deficiencies if applied for a long period of time.

Rapid weight loss due to this strict diet can also cause muscle mass loss, decreased metabolic rate, reduced bone mineral density, and other health problems. Because you are only required to consume high-quality proteins in one week, you may become weak and deficient in protein.

Not only that, the GM diet can also have a negative effect on those of you who have a history of eating disorders. Restrictions on calorie intake can cause eating disorders to recur. This diet can also encourage irregular diets because of the lure of short-term results obtained.

This diet cannot be considered healthy and balanced because it has the potential to reduce the intake of important nutrients needed by the body, such as proteins that are not found in fruits and vegetables. Malnutrition in any form will not result in long-lasting weight loss.

Restrictions on the type of food every day can actually make you feel dizzy quickly and want to eat more on the third or fourth day. Lack of nutrition can cause severe hair loss, dry skin, fatigue, weak muscles, and anemia. In addition, very low calorie intake without being balanced with regular exercise can cause a decrease in the metabolic rate of the body.

The GM diet can help lose weight quickly because the food is low in calories and high in water content. The GM diet is more of a short-term strategy than a healthy and sustainable weight loss method.

Another problem that makes this diet less effective is its duration which is only seven days and is not sustainable after that. While your weight may drop during the diet, it is likely that weight will rise again after that. Especially if you don't maintain a healthy diet after the diet ends.

That's the answer to whether the GM diet is healthy and safe? The GM diet is a lightning loss method that is not safe for everyone. Instead of strictly limiting food and calories, it is better to apply a balanced diet for healthier weight loss. Also read the 2 2 2 2 2 method for diet.
