What is the Shock Diet and How is it done?
During the time spent at home during the pandemic process, eating habits changed and many people turned to pastries, junk foods and desserts. All these meals came back as extra pounds. Those who want to get rid of pandemic pounds quickly have recently resorted to ‘shock diets’. What are these shock diets? How is it done, and most importantly, is it right to go on a shock diet? Let’s take a look together.
What is the shock diet?
Shock diet, with the shortest definition, aims to create a shock effect by starving the body to the degree of writhing and thus to lose large weight in a short time. The basic principle of shock diets is to surprise the body by minimizing calorie intake. In shock diets, they are fed with an average of 500-1000 calories per day.

Is it right to lose weight with shock diets?
It should be clearly stated that the diet lists titled ‘shock diet’, ‘losing that much weight in 1 week’ and ‘5 kilograms in 2 days’ on the Internet are far from the understanding of healthy eating together with the lists listed above.
These shock diets, which usually contain a uniform diet or much less calorie intake than the body needs, cause weight loss in a short time, but cause the excess weight to be regained the moment you stop the diet.
Shock diets can also play with your health. Less calorie intake than you need during the day causes nutrient loss and many health problems can occur. On the other hand, a regular diet can cause side effects in the body.
It is best to diet according to your values with the list written by the expert. If you want to lose weight, we recommend that you consult a dietician instead of diet lists written on the internet.
