What is a "starvation diet"?
A starvation diet involves severely restricting calorie intake for an extended period, often to the point of depriving the body of essential nutrients required for proper functioning. This extreme form of dieting can lead to rapid weight loss but poses serious health risks. Starvation diets may result in nutritional deficiencies, muscle loss, weakened immune system, fatigue, dizziness, and other negative effects. Prolonged starvation can even lead to organ damage and, in severe cases, death. Starvation diets are generally considered unsafe and unsustainable, and they do not promote long-term health or sustainable weight loss.
