In addition to stressing the body and mind,
they activate brain circuits that make the
individual even hungrier and more likely to
give in to overeating. It is counterintuitive,
against the nature of our species and scares
our metabolism.
Restrictions often result in a significant
reduction in caloric intake. This can lead to a
slowdown in metabolism, where the body
adapts to the lack of calories by reducing its
metabolic rate to preserve energy. When
caloric intake is increased again, the body can
store more fat, making it difficult to maintain
long-term weight loss. Many people
experience the so-called "Yo-Yo" effect when
following restrictive diets. This involves losing
weight quickly while on restriction. This
repetitive cycle can be harmful to your health
and makes it difficult to maintain a stable
weight.
Diets that exclude entire food groups can lead
to nutritional deficiencies. Each food group
plays a vital role in the health of the body, and
excluding any of them can result in
deficiencies in vitamins, minerals and other
essential nutrients. These deficiencies can
lead to long-term health problems.
Severely restricting your diet can have a
negative impact on mental health. Constant
deprivation can lead to food obsessions,
anxiety and even eating disorders like binge
eating. A complicated relationship with food
can affect self-esteem and quality of life.
These diets are often difficult to maintain long term.
The lack of variety and pleasure in eating can lead to
giving up. Adopting healthy and sustainable eating
habits for your life is essential to achieving and
maintaining a healthy weight.
While restrictive diets may seem like a quick fix
for weight loss, the physiological and
psychological challenges associated with them
often result in short-term results. The secret to
success in 2024 is abandoning restrictive diets.
Instead, it is essential to adopt healthy and
sustainable eating habits in the long term.
Learning about yourself and your relationship
with food, respecting the signs of hunger and
satiety, is the way to create lasting eating
autonomy.
Understanding the contexts of food, making
balanced choices and practicing kindness towards
yourself are essential steps. Instead of seeking
extreme solutions, the focus should be on adopting
balanced eating habits, regular physical activity and
an intuitive approach to health. Start slowly,
including what makes sense for you in your routine,
and little by little change your habits to achieve your
eating autonomy in 2024. Success lies in the journey,
not in the restriction.
