Weight Loss: Pakistani actor lost 8 kg weight in a week; What effect does a crash diet have on your body?
Pakistani actress Nimra Khan has revealed that she lost 8 kg of weight after a week-long crash diet. The 34-year-old woman revealed that she used to eat only green apples, green tea and egg whites to get through the day, which was extremely difficult for Nimra to follow. According to experts, such crash diets temporarily achieve your weight loss goal but come with serious side effects like heart problems, hair fall, mood swings and slow metabolism.
Nimra revealed that her diet consisted only of egg whites, apples, green tea and vegetable juices
Nimra Khan recently opened up about her drastic weight loss journey and revealed how she lost the weight full eight kilos Through extreme crash diets in just one week. According to the 34-year-old popular actor, he followed an extreme crash diet “while setting clear goals.”
“To lose weight, you first need to set clear goals,” he said.
Eat apple and green tea for weight loss
Nimra revealed that her diet consisted only of egg whites, apples, green tea and vegetable juices while completely avoiding carbohydrates. “I used to have an apple every three hours and green tea every two hours. This routine was repeated morning, afternoon and evening for seven days,” she explained.
Nimra said that she started her day with lukewarm water with honey, lemon and chia seeds.
However, he said that the diet was quite difficult to maintain. He said, “It was a 7-day diet plan and no one has completed it for more than 4 days. Most people remain consistent for the first 3 days but give up by the 4th day.”
Are crash diets good for your health?
Although Nimra’s method may have given quick results, health experts caution against following such extreme methods for weight management. Despite giving you the desired results, extreme weight loss diets come with many negative aspects that should make you think twice about harming your body.
Side Effects of Crash Diet
According to nutritionists, a crash diet will expect you to reduce your calories from the beginning, often below your basal metabolic rate or BMR. And by reducing your calories and making drastic changes to the type of food you eat, your body weight will decrease. However, it also comes with a lot of problems and side effects. Some of these include:
slow metabolism
To lose weight you need a higher metabolism, which means you’ll burn more calories while at rest.
Calorie restriction creates a short-term decrease in metabolic rate – and so, if you eat less, your body slows down your metabolic rate to conserve energy.
may affect your heart
According to studies, extremely low-calorie diets cause an initial increase in the amount of fat present in the heart, leading to complications in people with existing heart conditions like shortness of breath, heart palpitations and arrhythmias.
muscle loss
Losing weight through calorie restriction results in loss of lean muscle. In a healthy, gradual weight loss plan that also includes exercise, the weight loss effect slows down as the workout protects against muscle loss.
However, crash diets result in decreased calories, leading to loss of muscle mass and strength over a lifetime.
causes mood swings
Severely restricting calories can make you irritable, feel depressed, and lack concentration. According to studies, its effect is equivalent to drug withdrawal when the dieter suddenly stops eating his normal diet and starts eating a low-fat diet.
cause of hair fall
Your hair depends on you to feed it a good diet including plenty of proteins, healthy fats and vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and E, biotin, selenium and zinc. Crash diets can lead to a deficiency of these nutrients that nourish your hair and lead to excessive hair fall.
