A "crash diet" refers to sudden, unsustainable changes in diet intended to produce quick results. These results are often reversed as soon as the diet is stopped, and sometimes dieters even wind up weighing more a few weeks later than they did before a crash diet.

Should You Choose a Crash Diet?

Are there any benefits to a crash diet? Some people like to use them when they need to lose a few pounds in a short amount of time. If they're used carefully, they may not hurt you. But most of what you lose is water and not fat. There are no long term benefits to using them and they can harm you if used more than a few days. Your body can't get the nutrients it needs on a severely restrictive diet. Most crash diets limit you to less than a thousand calories per day which isn't enough for long-term.

Are crash diets a healthy way to lose weight?

Crash diets are a great way NOT to lose weight, at least in the long term. There are many types of crash diets, but the way they "work" in general is by forcing the body to lose water quickly. When the person comes off the crash diet, they are dehydrated and hungry, and therefore drink and eat enough to replace the water and Calories lost during the crash diet, plus extra. Honestly, the only way to truly lose weight is to eat fewer Calories than you burn, and to make sure that those Calories you do consume are packed with nutrients and not just empty energy.
