The Dislocated Diet – NOT a Healthy Weight Loss Diet

I am writing this to strongly advice you against the dislocated diet and any of its derivates. I have tried this diet just a month ago, and I am still feeling side effects. There are many types of diets that resemble the dislocated diet, and this isn’t in any way a healthy weight loss program. After finishing the diet, I’ve registered a loss of 15 pounds in two weeks, but the costs were immense, as I was feeling really bad and weak. I was getting tired very often, so I went to my doctor and he explained all the bad things that happened to my body while I was taking this diet.

The dislocated diet and all its derivates are based on the principle that each food, if consumed individually, will not cause you to gain weight. So, by consuming only a group of aliments at each meal (or during a day, depending of the method chosen) you will manage to lose weight, eating without restrictions and in any quantity.

During a week, each day is associated with a type of aliments (meat, fruits, eggs, fish, and vegetables). For example, if you want to eat only diary products on Monday, you will be eating them from breakfast until dinner.

If you choose a daily diet, them you will have to eat a single food at each meal. Because it offers greater variety during a day, this option is the most popular.

The main idea of the dislocated diet is that the fullness state is faster achieved if only one aliment is consumed. In other words, we will get bored fast of a single group of aliments, while appetite might get stimulated by associating different aliments. This means we eat less, so we lose weight. It’s obvious why this type of behavior is not recommended for the long term, because it can trigger important deficits and can cause lose of muscle and of health in general. I wish I was aware of any of this in time, but not I’m trying to stay away from any type of strange diets that forbid normal and healthy aliments.

The weight loss is obvious, because the lack of variety from each meal causes lost of appetite and reduces the food quantity we eat. Even if this diet seems balanced, in truth it is not, and dislocating aliments will minimize their assimilation and conduct to long term states of malnutrition and weakness. This diet has many disadvantages, and I am living proof for many of them, because I didn’t do my homework right before starting it:

- The apparition of a boomerang effect, when the diet is over. I’ve gained all the weight loss in just one week! That is a sad side effect indeed…
- Muscles and internal organs are weakened during the days we consume only fruits of vegetables, because they lack proteins. As I man, I am well aware of my muscular tissues, and now I’m sure I’ve lost almost half the power in my muscles.
- A tiredness sensation will make itself felt. I needed to sleep more and more with each day passing.
- The diet is not adapted for an active person. I always had trouble taking it while at work.
- The diet does not have a scientific base: the sugars, fats and proteins we eat are subjected to the same digestion process, regardless of the moment we eat them or if they are eaten separately or together. If only I knew this before staring it.

A healthy diet should be diversified. It should not affect general health and never claim any essential nutrients from a day’s diet. I have learnt this now, and I hope you will be able to learn from my experience and not from yours.
