The "Just Eat Half" Diet

The “Just Eat Half Diet” is as the name implies – you halve the quantity of food you eat and therefore you also halve your daily calorie intake. This causes a calorie deficit in the body, resulting in weight loss. With the Just Eat Half Diet, instead of 2000 calories, for example, only 1000 are consumed. A change of diet is not neccessary, just smaller portion sizes.

• This type of diet in its regular form can be carried out by any healthy person.
• The diet requires a lot of discipline, as the calorie intake is extremely reduced.
• You therefore need a lot of willpower to follow this diet.

• Since the Just Eat Half Diet does not require a change of diet, it can be adapted to any eating habits or preferences and you do not have to give anything up.
• Restaurant visits are no obstacles either, except that you may have to order a smaller portion.

• The same goes for flexibility: since no change of diet is required, you are not restricted by any rules and can eat any amount of whatever you want, wherever you want.

• With the Just Eat Half Diet the amount of food is halved, so there are no additional costs.
• Also preparing meals does not require any additional effort.
• Food cravings are likely due to the small portion sizes.

• Just Eat Half – sounds like an easy way to finally reach your desired weight. However this is easier said than done, because from a nutritional point of view, this is one of the most unhealthy diets. It does not require a healthy or balanced diet to be eaten and therefore any poor dietary habits are simply continued.
• Additionaly, the calorie intake is drastically reduced. Although this results in a rapid loss of weight, it makes your body think you are experiencing a kind of “famine”.
• As a result, the body reacts with a corresponding emergency response: the metabolism changes, successful weight loss is impaired and fat burning is blocked. The body reacts to such a severe lack of nutrients with muscle loss, hair loss, skin changes and a lack of energy, which manifests itself in headaches, tiredness and loss of concentration.

• Although the Just Eat Half Diet will quickly result in a loss of weight, halving the amount of food will soon leave you feeling hungry.
• In addition, the Just Eat Half Diet does not guarantee a healthy diet, as theoretically everything is allowed. It does not lead to a sustainable or healthy change in diet.
• The intestines and metabolism can be affected and the yo-yo effect is very likely to occur after returning to a “normal” diet.
• Instead of removing unhealthy food from your diet, it is simply reduced by half. This small amount of food makes your body believe you are experiencing famine, which makes the yo-yo effect likely to occur.
• Halving the amount of food can lead to malnutrition and corresponding symptoms.

In conclusion, the Just Eat Half Diet is probably one of the most unhealthy forms of diet. Any dietery changes are not maintained and weight loss is not long-term. In addition, the diet is difficult to implement and maintain. Therefore it is not suitable for long-term weight loss.
