Do you ever suffer those horrible feelings of guilt? You're on one of your latest low calorie diet plans and you've failed again and stuffed yourself silly on pizza last night! Well I've got news for you.
The numerous low calorie diet plans you have tried and failed with over the years are actually setting you up to fail from the start.
See if you can spot anything familiar in the following list:- 1) Through constantly restricting your calories you are destroying your metabolism 2) Through not eating enough, this can lead to the breakdown of muscle tissue which will further reduce your metabolism 3) Once your diet is over and you resume "normal" eating, you will quickly gain any weight you lost because of your "damaged" metabolism 4) The Psychological effects aren't great.
Admit it you're never really happy on one of these typical starvation diets.
You can often find yourself feeling miserable and frustrated.
5) Fat loss will slow down significantly and eventually stop all together.
Your body's natural defence to feeling hungry or starved is to store fat, not lose it.
Your body needs this for energy.
6) Your natural hormone levels will drop, which in turn, will lead to a decreased sex drive and an overall feeling of lethargy.
So as you can clearly see, these low calorie diet plans you have been following for many years may not be the answer at all.
It seems they can cause a lot of anguish and misery as well as having a hugely negative impact on your body and overall health.
