Dieting with no proper advice and assistance of at least a health care provider if not of a dietitian is not such a good idea if taking into account the possible side effects, consequences and unpleasant health aspects. Dieting for long periods of time and especially staring according to the explanations and motivations of the chosen weight loss diet program may cause severe health problems and high risk factors that increase the likeliness of developing different heart diseases, cancers, intestinal or hormonal disorders. Dieting may affect metabolism in a great way, but not in the desired direction, as the metabolic process may be slowed down due to the low caloric intake or due to the improper nutrition program, incompatible with the well-being of the entire body.

The muscle mass loss instead of the fat storage loss during the dieting process may be the result of a metabolic process, because muscle is a tissue of metabolic nature, exposed to the general changes in the body. In order to maintain the muscle mass the body needs a special number of caloric intake daily and in the cases of severe dieting these calories are directed to the maintenance of the main systems of the body. In this way, the metabolic tissue of the muscle mass loses its integrity and disintegrates also due to the low fluid intake, responsible for the support of the muscle mass. After the dieting or the starvation period is finished, the person may return to its initial eating habits, but the metabolism would be slower in this case and the caloric intake bigger than in the dieting period. If no exercising or activity programs are included in the lifestyle, the metabolism is more likely to become lazier than before starting dieting. This aspect will contribute to future weight gain and to the well-known process of coming back weight even with some extra pounds than before starting dieting. These are only some of the obvious implications and results of dieting with no assistance and help from a professional.

Replacing the snacking and processed foods with healthy snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables, salads and vegetable crudités and having 5 meals instead of 2 or classic 3 may also help in keeping the metabolic process active. You may start the day with a simple walk or some exercises and then eat something healthy, be it the case of carbohydrates so that the entire daily activity would be supplied from the first meal of the morning.
