In order to be successful in dieting without harming your health, you must check your body condition regularly. If you feel hungry all day or have trouble sleeping at night, your weight loss plan may be in jeopardy. In relation to this, we have summarized the signs that appear when you are on an unreasonable diet introduced by ‘Women’s Health’, an American women’s health media outlet.
“Mood changes have become more severe.”= Among the new words that Americans often use is the word ‘hangry.’ This word, a compound word of hungry and angry, is a word that expresses a situation where you feel angry because you are hungry.
When hunger occurs, chemicals in the brain become confused, triggering mood states such as depression, anxiety, and nervousness. Also, when you reach this state of mind, your diet plan is ruined and the side effect of dieting is that you gain more weight than before.
“I don’t have much energy.”=Sports nutritionists said, “If calorie intake is too low, energy will inevitably be depleted,” and “If you do not replenish fuel, fatigue will gradually increase.”
“Most women need to consume at least 1,200 to 1,400 calories per day to support their health,” she continued. If you are finding it increasingly difficult to control your body, you may need to increase your calorie intake compared to now.
“I obsessively count the calories in my food.”=If you have an obsession with counting calories in your head at every meal, you may be on an unhealthy diet. This is because diet should be helpful for mental health as well as physical health.
According to experts, diet should be a means of changing one’s existing lifestyle towards a healthier and more wholesome one. The point is that you should not take away your mental health due to obsession or obsession with dieting.
“I can’t sleep.”=Extreme diets make it difficult to sleep well because they do not provide enough nutrients to encourage good sleep.
Also, if you are hungry to the point of starvation, you may find it difficult to sleep and spend the night tossing and turning. Be sure to consume at least the required calories, and if you have difficulty falling asleep due to hunger, it is a good idea to induce sleep with a glass of warm milk.
“Social activities have become difficult.”=A healthy diet should be a plan that can be continued under any circumstances. Whether you’re spending time at home or meeting friends for dinner, you should be able to stick to your plans regardless of the situation.
If your diet plan is too strict, other social activities may become impossible. Dieting should be done in a direction that can be implemented consistently by making a long-term plan.
