Is Your Diet a Death Sentence?

At any given moment, approximately half of the women in the
American population are dieting. With the push toward
lean, well-toned bodies in this country, some people have
approached weight loss with a mania. Unfortunately, a
number of those who have published what ultimately became
famous diet programs ended up with a big bankroll while the
unsuspecting women who adopted their plan sometimes ended
up severely debilitated...or dead.

One of the tragic results of a poor diet plan is the onset
of osteoporosis. This comes about as a result of the lack
of calcium that your body needs in order to maintain
healthy bones. Some of the more popular diets have been
responsible for depriving women of this essential mineral,
causing them to lose bone density and resulting in
irreparable damage. The philosophy behind that deprivation
was that dairy products were advertised by the creators of
these diets as being fattening and, therefore, unhealthy.

The facts prove otherwise, however. Not only is dairy not
unhealthy, but it's required by the body to maintain good
overall health and strong bones. In addition, if you were
to remove dairy products from your diet, you'd actually
have trouble losing weight. A better approach would be to
eat low-fat dairy products, in order to get the calcium
that you need, but also to force the body into utilizing
the fat cells that currently reside in your system, rather
than building new fat cells. This causes the body to turn
its attention toward the breaking down of fat and,
ultimately, provides the catalyst for weight reduction.

Be sure to do your research before hand if you are thinking
of going on a diet. Try one of the healthy diets out there
and following one of them instead of the drastic, chemical
solutions may end up saving your life, and certainly your
health. Find out the facts to avoid going on a dangerous
diet that promises a quick fix, but will not keep you thin
for life, but may make you unhealthy for life. Know the
signs of a dangerous diet. Any diet that eliminates a food
group entirely is dangerous. We need a mix of nutrients to
remain healthy. If a diet promises instant results, beware.

You may, or may not, be surprised to discover that the
Atkins Diet is the top-ranked program that offers the least
amount of calcium and is, therefore, considered to be
dangerous to your overall health. Among the other top five
are Sugar Busters, Suzanne Somers' Fast & Easy, The
Perricone Prescription and Body for Life. Each of these is
low in calcium intake and will eventually cause a loss of
bone density, which results in osteoporosis.

In addition, programs such as these can actually cause your
body to stop losing weight since you will produce more
calcitriol. Calcitriol is the hormone which triggers the
production of fat cells. The body tries to conserve all the
calcium it can by producing calcitriol, thereby producing
and storing more fat cells. Eating healthy, low-fat dairy
products reduces the level of calcitriol in your body. This
will help break down fats and will help you lose weight.
So stop the myth that dairy products are bad for your diet.
Your body needs them for calcium and weight control.

The moral of the story is that you shouldn't be fooled into
believing that anything with the word "diet" attached to
it is going to be healthy, or help you to lose weight.
Sensible eating and a reasonable exercise regimen is the
only sure way to maintain good health and assist the body's
natural process of weight reduction.
