| The
journey to weight loss is cluttered with many ups, downs, pebbled-roads
and sunny days. Maintaining a perfect course is a matter of using
these strategies to stay on the straight and narrow:
Starvation
leads to binge street.
As focused as one
might be to lose weight and see results, the starvation booby
trap leads to binging street. When the body is deprived one
day and then tempted by tasty treats, falling off the wagon
is inevitable. Despite weight loss willpower food depravation
as in starvation intercepts the process of losing weight.
Successful weight
loss does not necessitate eliminating excessive volumes of food.
In order to lose a pound per week, caloric intake should be
reduced by 500 or so calories per day or 500 more calories should
be expended via physical activity.
Edgy and Anxious
Depression-ville
Once the dieter's
honeymoon expires, the dieter may enter a state of edgy and
anxious, Depression-ville.’ The reality sets in after the dieter
comes down from the utopia of the weight management program.
During the journey through depression-ville, food choices become
challenging. A feeling of loneliness or an emotional void may
seem overwhelming. A yearning for comfort food is omnipresent.
Family, friends and co-workers must cope with the negative affects
of your diet.
To overcome the perils
of edgy and anxiously Depression-ville,’ add comfort foods back
to your diet. Keep your portions to a minimum, or under 1,500
calories. If weight loss will be slowed down, it will be better
for your outlook attitude and energy level. Adding carbohydrates
to one’s diet will improve the mood. The brain requires carbs
to produce serotonin. When the brain is deprived of serotonin
production, it may trigger depression. |
