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.
