Crashing the Sacred Heart Diet

Crash Diets in General

Crash diets are dangerous...in general. They are dangerous because people do not pay attention to the warnings/context of a diet trend. They proceed and fall victim to the fine print.

Crash diets are not meant to be maintained: Most crash diets have a time limit, from a few days to a full week. They are called crash diets because they are short-term and people who try to continue past the time limit, quickly find out why crash diets are dangerous.

Crash diets have warnings (context): When stumbling across the newest crash diet, people rarely pay attention to the information that comes with it. If something says that it will completely change the way your body digests food, know that it will. Example: By completely eliminating carbohydrates from your diet (and loading up on meat), your digestive system will be revolutionized. Instead of having energy cells (carbohydrates) that turn to fat when not used, through the power of ketosis, your metabolism will change stored protein into energy. This, of course, is dangerous in the long run. The food your body uses for energy should be used for energy. Forcing your body into survival mode is never a good thing. But cutting back on heavy pasta dinners and sugary doughnut breakfasts is not a bad thing either.

Crash diets must be researched: Use common sense. Ask why it works and whether you can commit to it for the time specified. If you cannot, then do not bother wasting your time/money on it.
