The Met Gala crash diet, where Kim Kardashian lost 16 pounds in three weeks, could give you weight

Dietitians warn that trying Kim Kardashian’s accelerated diet to lose 16 pounds in three weeks by cutting out sugar and carbohydrates may actually make you fat.

The 41-year-old reality star cut her calorie intake and went for a run on a treadmill every day to try on Marilyn Munroe’s dress for this week’s Met Gala.

But Dr. Deborah Salvatore of Long Island University in New York warns that the plan could result in regaining all the weight lost as well as extra because someone would go back to their old diet rather than adopt a healthier diet.

His colleague Dr. Laura Feldman said that rapid weight loss can also slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight as the body now burns fewer calories each day.

Dietitians also add that dieters may be at risk of dehydration and may feel irritable, light-headed or tired.

Health experts say the best way to lose weight is to gradually limit your calorie intake and adopt a more active lifestyle.

They warn that rapid weight loss diets are only recommended for obese people, but they say no one should stick to them for more than 12 weeks.

Dr. Laura Feldman said it can slow the metabolism, which means the body burns fewer calories than before.

When asked about Miss Kardashian’s rapid weight loss, Dr. Salvatore: Fox News: ‘Usually rapid weight loss is the result of dehydration, [but] It can also be caused by strict restrictions that can lead to eating disorders.

“Such dietary practices are not sustainable and can lead to weight gain and a few extra pounds.

‘We shouldn’t really think about diets; There should be lifestyle changes you can support.

“Eliminating whole food groups is unsustainable and can result in weight loss and subsequent weight gain and excess weight because the practices are so extreme.”

Dr. Feldman warned the newscast that the diet not only slows metabolism, but can also lose all essential nutrients.

She said: “Eliminating carbohydrates can often cause people to feel dizzy, tired, and have trouble concentrating.

†[This is because sugar] It is a source of energy for the brain and a direct source of energy for the body’s muscles and cells.’

Other celebrities have already used fast diets to lose weight, including singer Jessica Simpson, who lost 100 pounds in six months in 2019.

People are often warned not to go on a rapid weight loss diet because of the associated health risks.

But those who are obese may be offered a low-calorie diet — eating less than 800 calories a day — to help them lose weight.

Doctors say that while these diets can lead to rapid weight loss, they are “not a suitable or safe method for everyone.”

Anyone using the plans can only use 12 weeks and should be supervised by a supervisor.

HOW SHOULD A BALANCED NUTRITION BE?

According to the NHS, meals should be potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates, ideally whole grains.

• Basic meals based on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates, preferably wholemeal

• 30 grams of fiber per day: This is equivalent to eating all of the following: 5 servings of fruit and vegetables, 2 whole grain biscuits, 2 thick slices of whole wheat bread, and a large baked potato in the crust

• Have some alternatives to milk or dairy products (such as soy drinks) and choose low-fat, low-sugar options

• Eat beans, legumes, fish, eggs, meat and other proteins (including 2 servings of fish per week, one of which is fat)
