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.
