It is stressful for your body if you place physical demands on it without giving it enough fuel (food). Crash diets are not a permanent -weight will go back on.

Crash dieting is a dangerous way to lose weight, or for any other reason. All diets should be carefully planned, based on current health and dietary needs, and desired weight goals. In addition, a diet should contain an appropriate amount of fruit, vegetables and variety.
