Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re aware that weight influences several health conditions. High body weight is often associated with high cholesterol, inflammation, joint pain, and a number of other chronic illnesses. Of course, seeking liberation from the rock also means you’ve heard million-and-one gurus promising quick and healthy fat loss. But is losing fat at lightning speed good for you?
It most certainly is not. In fact, multiple studies have indicated that dropping fat quickly is detrimental to long-term health. Highly restrictive crash diets tend to lead to more future weight gain shortly after completion, leaving you worse off than you were before.
