What alternative diets are there to the crash diet?

Crash diets are usually made to lose as much weight as possible in the shortest possible time. The weight loss per week with these diets is significantly higher than with most other diets. There are diets that are actually mono diets, but can be made more flexible, for example the Turbo Diet from Almased and Yokebe.

From the second week of the diet, this diet contains additional meals to the diet shakes (such as NISY) and is therefore healthier than zero diets. It can also be carried out for longer than a few days. These diets also include a maintenance phase to avoid the yoyo effect.

If you want to lose weight over a longer period of time and be more flexible in your diet, low-carb diets are often tried out, which can be easily integrated into everyday working life. Examples are the Logi method, the Glyx diet, Military Diet or the Atkins diet. In these diets, different aspects are considered, such as blood sugar and blood fat levels and the glycemic index (the glycemic index indicates the extent to which a particular food causes the blood sugar level to rise after consumption) of different foods.

A conscious perception of what one eats develops. It is similar with the separation diet, in which food may only be eaten in certain combinations of food groups. These diets are less one-sided than crash diets and can be made over weeks, months or even years. In order to lose weight in the long term and maintain the desired weight, one should do a lot of sport. Sport boosts the metabolism, gets the body in shape and provides vitality.

What are the costs of a crash diet?

The cost of a crash diet depends very much on the particular diet. If you go on a diet that consists mainly of fruit or vegetables, the prices vary greatly. Exotic fruits like pineapple, for example, are more expensive than most green vegetables.

Carbohydrates such as rice and potatoes are relatively cheap and can be bought in advance. Diet shake powder from Almased, Yokebe or Doppelherz seems relatively more expensive at an average of €15 per 500 gram can, but replaces many other meals, so the overall cost of crash diets is moderate.
