Fat Lost On Crash Diets May Have Negative Impact On Heart Health

reports that a study “suggests that fat lost on crash diets may clog the heart and reduce its function.” However, “this effect appears temporary.” Rayner's team theorized that the sudden drop in calories causes fat to be released from different parts of the body into the blood. It's then taken up by the heart muscle. But the negative changes didn't last. By eight weeks, heart function and heart fat were better than normal. Body fat, cholesterol and all of the other metabolic measures also continued to improve. The findings were presented at the European Society of Cardiology meeting. https://consumer.healthday.com/vitamins-and-nutrition-information-27/dieting-to-lose-weight-health-news-195/crash-diets-might-derail-your-heart-health-730863.html
