Remember that crash diets are ideal for those who get tired of dieting or do not have enough will to carry them out for a long time, since the combination with a more balanced diet helps us make a little effort during the day of shock.

How to go on a crash diet?

We must bear in mind that crash diets have a main function, which is to compensate for excess calories , hence their name.

They are fast, motivational diets, but they are not the most advisable to carry on a long-term basis, in fact it is totally contraindicated because it could cause damage to our body due to its low caloric intake.

That is why we offer you these three alternatives to carry out a crash diet:

• Shock prior to an excess : When we know that we are going to exceed a specific day, the day before we can follow a shock day to compensate for the caloric excess that we are going to have the next day.
• Post excess shock or weekly compensation : We can carry out the shock of a day to compensate weekly caloric intake.
• 3 days of shock for a rapid loss : This system produces a rapid weight loss and that motivates us when it comes to having a more balanced diet to lose weight, we can use the shock system as a motivating element before doing a weight loss diet . We can also use this resource at a time when we stagnate in losing weight with a balanced diet, to again promote weight loss to help us move forward. It is not recommended to carry it out for more than 3 consecutive days , we must take a break of at least a few weeks; as they can cause damage to our body.

Crash diets work very well if they are used for what they are intended, but should not be used as a regular or long-term diet.
