What happens if you fall ill in the middle of a diet?

|
Illness can come to anyone at any time in any place. There might or might not be a warning. Therefore you could find yourself at nearly the finishing point of your diet when illness strikes. You might then be required to give up dieting because it harms your health in the long term. This can be quite frustrating because we all wish to finish the projects that we have started. At the same no one wants to come from one set of health problems only to create another. Diets can be very difficult to complete and you do not wish to have all your efforts thrown down the drain because you have been surprised by the presence of yet another illness.

The first thing to recognize is that life is much more important than following any diet. You might think that you are rescuing the fruits of your hard work by continuing to follow the diet despite the problems with the diet in terms of your general health. The fact is that if you are dead from an illness all those diets that you were following mean absolutely nothing and will all fall by the wayside. When riding a wave of euphoria about the success of your diet you should not forget that the principle of life is to live it. If you cannot live your life then whatever health you are trying to protect will be useless.

If I were advising someone, I would tell them to follow the entire doctor’s instruction if they are dieting and then they happen to fall ill. They should avoid listening to fake advice that may lead them into losing their own lives for the sake of saving a few pounds. In any case the illness may be such that you end up losing too much anyway so that the diet becomes an unsustainable burden.

If people saw dieting as a health rather than cosmetic issue, we would have a lot more success with weight loss and even general health than we have now. The problem is that these days’ people look at weight loss primarily as a means to avoid criticism about weight or to find a good dress that fits you. This thinking removes the emphasis from making yourself healthy in all the major aspect of your life including the physical, mental and physical aspects. Dieting should be seen as being incidental to your general health plan.
