The diet is a way to lose weight by completely cutting off the body’s normal diet and drinking only water daily to ensure the body’s needs. The diet will usually cause minor or major damage to the human body because of the lack of nutrients in the body for a long period of time without eating, and the most basic sugars, proteins and fats are seriously lacking. If an individual eats more on a regular basis, the relative lack of nutrients in the individual’s body after experiencing the Purgatory Diet can easily lead to symptoms such as hypoglycemia and dehydration, which can be life-threatening in serious cases. Although you can eat rice porridge at the end of the diet, the nutrition of rice porridge is not able to replenish the body’s needs, which can easily cause excessive metabolism of sugars and fats in the body and cause ketosis deposition, leading to ketoacidosis and even anemia.
