Introduction
- Crash diets restrict calories drastically, with the goal of losing large amounts of weight in short amounts of time. They are not nutritionally balanced, and should not be continued for more than a few days.

Step 1: Set Your Expectations
- Most people need to eat around 2000 calories a day. You need to reduce intake by 3500 calories for each pound lost. So, mathematically, you can't lose several pounds of actual fat in a few days. In the initial phase of weight loss, however, the body releases fluids, resulting in a loss of "water weight" which accounts for the initial results shown in most crash diets.

Step 3: Follow Up
- If you resume your usual eating habits after ending the crash diet, you will regain any weight you lost immediately. If you'd like to continue losing weight, you should shift to a nutritionally balanced weight loss plan that can be followed for the long term, eating 1200-1500 calories a day.
