Regularly eating fewer calories than your body needs can cause your metabolism to slow down.
Regularly eating fewer calories than your body requires can cause fatigue and make it more challenging for you to meet your daily nutrient needs.
Restricting calories too dramatically can negatively affect fertility. This is especially true for women, as the ability to ovulate depends on hormone levels.
Consuming too few calories can weaken your bones.
Restricting calories may increase your risk of infections and illness.
Please consult a physician or a dietist before startingn to eat less!

While all diets have different foods and rules, there are a couple of things they all have in common:
1. There is limited scientific research to back them up.
2. They regulate your eating behavior.
3. They are normally short-lived and don't contribute to long-term success.
So why do such diets fail?
Skipping meals or decreasing the number of calories in your meals have bee linked to higher body fat storage. The brain and muscle's demand for fuel can result in rebound eating, where you may binge on not-so-healthy sources of food. Not meeting your basic need of fuel will also cause poor attention span, irritability and fatigue.
Cutting out your carbs means you're losing out on your body's preferred source of fuel, causing you to feel moody, tired and fatigued. As a consequence, your body will break down muscle and tissue to use for energy. It may also break down dietary protein, which can cause an acid-base imbalance, resulting in increased risk of kidney issues. And if you're unable to fight those physiological and psychological cravings for carbohydrates, you will likely overeat down the road.

Weight loss can slow down youe metabolism, but it's not the only culprit. If you eat too few calories or go more than three or four hours between meals, your metabolism will also slow down. This is known as "starvation mode" and is due to the same protective mechanism that happens when you lose weight. Your body slows down the rate at which it's burning calories in order to conserve energy, because it doesn't know when you are going to feed it again. This is a double whammy if you are severely restricting calories to lose weight.
The ratio of fat to muscle in the body also affects metabolic rate. Weight, or body composition, is made up of fat, muscle, bone and water. Muscle is more metabolically active than fat. In other words, it burns more calories. When you lose weight, you lose both fat and muscle, unless you are doing something to preserve the muscle mass. Losing calorie-burning lean muscle mass slows your metabolism.
This is one reason why you see a change in metabolism over the lifespan. As you age, you naturally lose muscle mass, which results in a decreased metabolism. This can be influenced by maintaining muscle mass throughout the lifetime with weight-bearing physical activity.

While some countries debate if they should serve food in schools or not, those where it's already a part of the school day quarrel about its content.
Dietists are in favor of more fruits and vegetables and whole grain is to be served instead of white bread. Vitamins A and C, calcium, iron and calories must also be provided. But such stricter guidelines are not very popular with students, parents and teachers.

Regularly eating fewer calories than your body requires can make it more challenging for you to meet your daily nutrient needs.
For instance, calorie-restricted diets may not provide sufficient amounts of iron, folate or vitamin B12. This can lead to anemia and extreme fatigue.

For a food restriction to succeed, you must wholeheartedly pay attention to feelings that come up when you desire a food that you're not really hungry for, but just crave because you aren't allowed to have it (or as much as you want of it). Observe that you don't actually want the food, but what it represents - freedom. You don't have that now, since you have opted to choose it away for a while or for good. So your success is depending on you to resist all urges to snack on non-diet food.

I agree with all of you! I wish my mom listened to this advice when I was younger. I've had the worst relationship with food in my early years. I grew up eating only mc Donalds beef patties. Then when I got in my late twenties, I realized that I wouldn't be able to live my life this way. Not only was I not taking in the proper nutrients, but I also had trouble eating other foods. I started slowly cooking food for myself at home, starting with dishes I knew I liked. I did build myself a little cookbook of foods I was comfortable and soon enough I was eating a more or less balanced. I can feel much better now than I did when I was younger. I also take grape seed extract to help keep my cholesterol in check. If you're interested there is this website that you can find deals on www.vitaminexpress.org/uk/opc-vital-opc-capsules. Grape seed extract comes in a lot of forms and I was interested in the research behind it. You can capsule or maybe syrup form if you want to. You'll probably find it at your local homeopathic medicine store or online. |
