crash diets
Rapid weight-loss plans
Crash diets are weight-loss plans promising rapid results through severe caloric restriction.
They typically last days or weeks rather than representing sustainable lifestyle changes: She went on a crash diet before the wedding.
Most nutritionists warn that crash diets lead to muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, and weight regain once normal eating resumes.
