8. Read the following passage carefully:

1. Crash dieting may help you lose weiglht, in the short term, but,
ultimately it can hinder weight loss in the
long term, as most of the weight that you have lost with crash dicting will
bounce
gain all the weight that you have lost and more. Crash dieting not only removes fatback, meaning you will
but also leans muscle
and tissue. Contrary to the belief of many who start this diet, this form of dieting is
neither healthy nor
successful in achieving long term weight loss as it induces the slowing down of the hody's basal metabolic
rate - the body seeks to conserve every calorie and so weight loss hecomes increasingly difficult. Basal
metabolic rate is the anmount of calories your body necds on a daily basis, to maintain its regular activities.
This means your body will need fewer calories than it did previously, making weight gain more likely once
you stop dieting.
2. Most crash diets involve cating low-calorie foods for several weeks or cating the same food or food groups
for several weeks. Even if you're only trying the dict for a wcck or two, cating such a strict diet of the
same foods can cause nutritional deficiencies. Eliminating one or more food groups will not provide you
with adequate. long-term nutrition. Nutritional deficiencies such as this can have multiple immediate side
effects such as haggard look, dark under eyes, dull skin,sloppy posture and less stamina.
3. This is also why exercise is recommended in any weight-loss plan to build muscle and maintain your
metabolic rate. Again common mistakes that are observed with exercise are joining the gym only till the
New Year, so that you can lose weight and once the party is over, the party for not exercising continues.
On the other hand, we have some who make New Year resolutions and with the gym memberships which
are so tempting during the New Year, take up annual memberships, which is not bad, What is bad is to
break the resolution. It is good to take up an exercise programme during the new year and to make a
resolution about exercise, provided you do not break your resolution, and continue exercising year long.
What is important is consistency.
