| 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. |
