3．4Reasons Why Fad （风靡一时的） Diets are Bad for You
A quick weight loss program sounds like a good idea at the time，but you'll soon discover that fad diets can be more dangerous to your health than beneficial to it．Here are four reasons why fad diets are bad for you，plus tips on how to create a diet plan that helps you lose the extra pounds safely-and keep them off．
1．You'll Wind Up Feeling Dehydrated （脱水的）
Most of the weight you drop when you lose weight too quickly tends to be water weight，which can lead to rapid dehydration．Your body burns calories and excess （过量的） weight in stages，and if you force your body to lose weight faster than it naturally wants to，you can cause serious health problems for yourself．
Tip：When trying to lose weight，remind yourself that water is your friend．To keep from overeating and to stay properly hydrated （含水的），drink one to two glasses before a meal．Also，if you exercise daily，be sure to increase your water intake in order to counteract （抵消，中和） the water lost from sweating （出汗） while working out．
2．You'll Get Tired Quickly
Fad diets involve depriving （剥夺） yourself of calories，however，calories are what translate into the energy your body needs to get through the day．If you eat fast or eat less than what your body requires in order to lose weight too quickly，you'll find yourself feeling tired for most of the day．
Tip：Eat smaller meals throughout the day．This will help to boost （促进） your metabolism （新陈代谢），and can provide you with more energy to help you lose weight in a healthy manner．
3．You Can Get Serious Digestive （消化的） Problems
In actual fact，losing weight too quickly can lead to severe diarrhea （腹泻），to be followed later by constipation （便秘）．As with losing water weight，having diarrhea over an extended period of time can lead to dehydration （脱水）-a condition that can be life-threatening．
Tip：Ensure that you have a diet which is rich in fibre （纤维）．
4．You'll Suffer from Malnutrition （营养不良）
Crash diets and fasting are dangerous because they restrict （限制） you from consuming （消耗） fats and carbs （碳水化合物），but they're also unsafe since they prevent your body from getting the vitamins and minerals it needs．If you restrict your body from its normal caloric intake over a long period of time，your body will be deprived （使丧失） of important nutrients （营养） and you'll become malnourished．
Tip：A healthy，well-balanced diet is the key to proper weight loss．Talk to your doctor about dietary supplements （补充物） if you are concerned about the amount of nutrients you're getting．
