Starving Yourself To Loose Weight Will Only Make You Gain More Weight

Contrary to popular belief, starving yourself
will not help you loose weight. Rather, it will
do the opposite and cause you to gain weight.
Obesity is a crutch on many people’s lives as
it comes with a bunch of psychological
negatives like low self-esteem, depression, and
self-hate.
When you starve your body, your natural
instincts kick in. The body needs to survive. So
the fewer calories you consume, the more your
metabolism slows down. Your body will release
a hormone called leptin which increases your
appetite and hunger which will cause you to
eat more than you regularly do.
People easily get discouraged when trying to
lose weight and do not see results as quickly
as they wish to. This causes stress eating or
emotional eating, eating to console yourself
rather than eating because of hunger.
The desire to lose weight alone is not enough
as restricting yourself from eating can
permanently slow down your body’s
metabolism.
To lose weight, one must be patient, optimistic
and disciplined. Get on a diet that does not
deprive nor harm you, pair that with a
moderate workout plan.
Don’t workout hard, workout smart!
Consistency is key.
