A couple of benefits:
The weight will stay off. Your body has the time to adjust to your new lifestyle. When you lose weight the unhealthy way, it won’t stay off very long. Losing weight the healthy way is more permanent!
If you lose weight the healthy way you have no chance to suffer from vitamins deficiencies or other deficiencies, being exhausted and/or other complaints, dehydration, etc.
It doesn’t weaken your immune system.
When you eat healthy and versatile, your metabolism won’t slow down. That way you keep burning calories.


I can sorta testify to this in a small-scale way; I lost about 7-8 lbs in about a month last winter while training for track (due to the ol’ work-out-a-lot-while-eating-healthy trick) and then after track was over it all came back. To maintain any “progress”, whether it’s weight, fitness level, or whatever, you need to be able to stick to your good habits and make them a part of your lifestyle. Starving is BAD, people! So are crazy workout regimens!
