A restrictive diet can have some very damaging emotional and physical consequences that can affect you not only now but in the future. Emotions aside, the physical effects of dieting can be far-reaching. For one thing, most of the massive weight loss is usually regained because the lifestyle is not sustainable! Our physiology is not designed to restrict foods. We need a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable!
Diets usually result in regaining all the weight lost. A study in the early 1990s included a group of obese women who had lost an average of >20 pounds. These women were not adequately trained in a sustainable, healthy eating regime, resulting in all the weight lost over four years being regained. Fad diets and restrictive diets are not a long-term solution for weight loss. While you may lose some weight in the short and long term, it's more than likely that you'll gain the weight back by "falling off the diet wagon" and binging!
Likewise, your physiology usually kicks in; Cortisol is released and causes fat absorption. The stress hormone cortisol is released when our body is under stress, such as: B. metabolic stress that coincides with dieting. Who cares? Well, secretion of cortisol during periods of long-term metabolic stress (long-term food restriction; diet) may induce fat storage as a sure-fire protection against future periods of metabolic stress. And as luck would have it, the majority of these fat receptors are located around the belly!
While a dietary diet is not recommended for the majority of healthy individuals, it may be appropriate for those who are severely overweight or at risk for certain diseases. Other than this risk group, normal healthy individuals will find no benefits from severe food restriction! At some point or later, the majority of us have tried a fad diet to achieve quick weight loss. Does it ever work? Well, it can be in the short term, but very rare in the long term.
Everyone has done it and it usually leaves us feeling empty or even emotionally drained. We need healthy eating habits not only for psychological reasons but also to lead a healthy life. To counteract this, we need a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable! A sustainable lifestyle doesn't have to be very hard, it can be comfortable and include some of the things you love! One way to start is to eat a hearty, nutritious breakfast every morning! This can satisfy your appetite throughout the morning and set you up for a productive day.
Diets are not the way to achieve sustainable weight loss goals. Each person needs a personalized plan that fits their time and money budget. If it doesn't fit your lifestyle, how can it help your waistline? If you take anything away from this article, it is that food restrictions are not the path to a healthier or even happier person, they pave the way for terrible eating habits that can affect your physiology. Start eating healthy today, you deserve it!
