A crash diet consists of significantly fewer calories than normal daily intake. Firstly, this should not be fewer than the minimum recommended caloric intake for a person's height and weight. Secondly, the calories ingested should come from healthy foods. There should be limited sugar and bad carbohydrates. Foods consumed should be packed with vitamins and minerals. A crash diet can help you lose weight, but it should not be at the risk of complexion, mood and overall health.
