Think twice before you crash diet

As we know, crash diets are stressful to the body and the mind. Your skin is a sensitive organ and unhealthy dieting will show in your face, your body is starving, yikes! This is stressful. You are getting insufficient calories and nutrients as well which take the limited calories you are getting away from the skin to meet other vital needs – your heart, brain, ect. If you continue to crash diet and lose weight to fast of lose too much, your fat stores underneath the skin decrease and this makes the skin thinner and less nourished. Eliminating too much fat (essential oils) from your diet as well as to little carbohydrates (rich in B vitamins) can cause breakouts and slow the turnover of new fresh cells – you are starving the skins metabolism – it starts to shut down as the rest of the body does. Remember to see a dietitian if you are trying to lose weight. Once we reduce the calories to under 1200 /day it becomes hard to meet daily vitamin and mineral requirements. A personalized program can safeguard your skin and weight goals.
