In starvation mode, the acid in the stomach will attack the fibers of the muscles to generate energy in the body. Over time, the person’s muscles will start to become weak and flabby. In severe cases, the person will develop into other diseases such as rickets, anorexia and etc. Fad diet will make the person unusually thin which can be fatal given that it is continued over a long period of time. Fad diet is not suitable for people who exercise rigorously. If you exercise, you need to eat a lot of food that are high in protein and carbohydrate so that the energy level can be replenished.



To solve this problem, you must eat a healthy diet and regularly exercise. You should eat a healthy and balanced diet. If you frequently eat junk food, you should stop them once and for all.

The pancreas create the insulin which is used to carry the glucose to different areas in the body. The more sugar you eat, the more insulin will be created by the pancreas. The insulin surge will cause an overwhelming amount of sugar to be into the blood system. As a result, the sugar and insulin level will fall below normal so that you feel hungry. When you feel hungry, you will crave for more food. Therefore, eating a lot of sugary food will increase your weight gain.
