It's 2022, lets say goodbye to "fad diets" and learn how to create a healthy relationship with food. Crash diets lead you feeling drained and lethargic and are proven to cause many health issues. Yes, you may lose that 40-50 lbs. But how it negatively impacts your physical and mental health matters much more.
Although these diets seem to work initially, they are impossible to maintain. It's proven that many individuals suffer excessive weight gain once they stop following the diet. This leads to the "yo-yo" effect. You have probably heard this term before. The yo-yo effect or yo-yo dieting is a common circumstance in which people have a hard time maintaining their target weight during & after their diet. These unhealthy diets lead to nutritional deficiencies, negatively impact hormonal health and metabolism, but also affect your mental health. The stress, guilt, and anxiety over food choices can lead to body dysmorphia and depression.
Now let's talk positive. Studies show the most effective way to lose weight is to lower your calorie intake! And no that does not mean starve yourself. Lowering calories means finding substitution for the unhealthy food choices you may be used to. Adding the "good" things that your body needs will effect you in many different ways such as: Improving your mood, aids in digestion, aids in weight loss, increases energy, lowers your chances of health problems & diseases, supports muscles, boosts immunity, clears skin, etc.
