The sleep diet, popularly known as the "sleeping beauty diet", is based on the principle that while you sleep, you don't feel hungry and you don't eat either, so sleeping a lot helps you lose weight faster.
However, to work, it is necessary to take pills with sedative effects, which make the person sleep for long periods of time, reaching up to 20 hours followed by sleep. For this reason, this diet brings several dangers linked to the side effects of medications, such as gastritis and addiction, and the lack of routine with family and friends, which can lead to depression.
Main dangers of the diet
By including the use of drugs that work under the brain and encouraging the person to sleep for several hours, the sleeping beauty's diet can bring several health consequences such as:
1. Dependence andoverdose
Sedative drugs should not be used without medical supervision, as they cause dependence on the nervous system, which means that increasing doses are necessary to obtain the desired effects. In addition, increasing doses on their own can lead to an overdose, which is when too much medication can lead to death.
Another complication is that this type of medication can also cause problems such as nausea, constipation, muscle weakness, imbalance, dry mouth, blurred vision and mental confusion.
2. Depression
In addition to the problems associated with the constant use of medication, sleeping long hours in a row can also cause social isolation and depression, as the person spends many hours alone and without exercising any activity most of the time. See the symptoms of depression.
Another concern is that depression can lead to eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating.
