/EINPresswire.com/ -- BIRMINGHAM, AL--(Marketwired - October 19, 2016) - In the United States, there is no shortage of fad diets and weight loss supplements promising a slimmer body through rapid weight loss. Around 45 million Americans diet each year, spending an estimated $33 billion annually on weight loss products. Nevertheless, nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, facing serious health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, heart disease and more. Consistent regulation of physical activity and calories consumed is crucial. However, many weight loss programs and supplements can do more harm than good, particularly as dietary supplements do not require U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before being marketed.

In rapid weight loss programs, the drastic reduction of calories (along with exercise) contributes more to fat burning than a particular pill or diet. In fact, unregulated rapid weight loss can negatively impact the body with side effects like headaches, fatigue, dizziness, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, constipation, muscle loss and more. There are also other serious weight loss side effects like:

• Gallstones (which affects 12-25% of people undergoing large amounts of weight loss over several months)
• Malnutrition (typically induced by inadequate protein intake and the starvation diet approach to dieting)

These risks increase over time, especially with diets that are not doctor-supervised. Therefore, it is crucial to consult a medical professional before adopting any major or rapid weight loss regimen. At Diet Doc, a nationally recognized weight loss center, all dieters are encouraged to seek doctor supervision to ensure consistent and healthy weight loss.
