Healthy Nutrient Diets: Good For Your Sanity Unlike Low-cal Diets That Can Make You Crazy

Healthy nutrient diets are very different from the "crash diets" many of us have tried at one time or another in our lives.

Healthy nutrient expert Doug Ingoldsby of All One agrees there is no question that a calorie-slashed daily diet will trigger a rapid drop in body weight, but he offers a word of warning;

Studies show that a low-calorie diet comes with a cost, not only to our physical health but to our mental health as well, because of nutrient deficiencies" says Ingoldsby.

Ingoldsby says in one Israeli study, researchers evaluated 10 psychiatric patients with and without a healthy nutrient diet, most of whom had never had any emotional problems prior to their first attempt at rapid weight loss.

"Researchers found a direct correlation between the severity of their mental condition and the speed and amount of weight the patient lost," says Ingoldsby.

Ingoldsby says this theory was further explored by a study conducted at the University of Minnesota.

"Thirty-six fun-loving, men of normal weight were put on a 1,500-calorie diet," says Ingoldsby. "After six months, all of the subjects suffered from psychological deterioration. They became weak, irritable, apathetic, and antisocial."

Ingoldsby says a similar study was carried out at the Mayo Clinic; "A group of emotionally healthy young women who did not need to lose weight agreed to live together in the clinic under a doctor's strict supervision while being fed a restricted diet for an extended period of time. In less than 90 days the women's personalities had begun to change, they began experiencing unprovoked feelings of anxiety, persecution and hostility. Some had nightmares and others panic attacks. The doctor overseeing the study stated that he had 'created a group of neurotics.'"

"According to the findings of one of the early health pioneers researching the relationship between diet and mental health, Dr. Emmanuel Cheraskin, co-author of Psycho-dietetics, any adult diet allowing an intake of fewer than 2,100-2,400 calories a day is likely to be deficient in some of the vitamins, minerals, and essential trace minerals needed to maintain mental health," says Ingoldsby.

Ingoldsby says to avoid deterioration of one's mental health and emotional well-being, it's vital that those who start on calorie-reduced diets ensure they are eating high quality calories and a high potency multivitamin and mineral supplement.

"Most people are aware that a cut-calorie diet might make them feel lightheaded, but very few realize how the lack of essential nutrients to the brain cells can potentially set them up for a lifetime of anxiety, depression, yoyo weight gain and loss and general unwellness," says Ingoldsby.
