Being on a crash diet, starving yourself to lose 20 pounds in a week is just a way of ignoring your health and the weight loss is short term rather than being permanent.
Stay away from plans that require you to starve yourself - you will lose muscle mass and this kind of crash diet could cause serious health problems.
If one does not have much information about nutrition and exercise, then crash diets are usually the first choice for teens.
