Dieting for Fat Loss: Why It's Bad for Your Overall Wellness
Are you one of those people who believe that dieting is the only way to lose fat?
Think again! Dieting for fat loss may seem like a quick fix to your weight loss woes, but it can actually do more harm than good to your overall wellness, and put you backwards on your fat loss journey.
Keep reading to learn why these fad diets NEVER work and what you should be doing instead!
Diets: Doing More Harm Than Good
When you restrict your calorie intake and cut out entire food groups, you're depriving your body of the vital nutrients it needs to function properly. This can lead to a number of negative side effects, including fatigue, irritability, and even malnutrition.
In addition, when you drastically change your eating habits to almost nothing, your body goes into survival mode. That means your metabolism slows considerably, conserving fat and packing on the pounds instead of burning it away for energy. The more you deprive your body of the nutrients it needs, the more it will have to look for other sources of fuel while retaining fat. Eventually, your system will begin breaking down muscle tissue for energy creating a severe loss in muscle mass.
Furthermore, many fad diets are not sustainable in the long run, and often lead to a lack of essential nutrients that are necessary for good health. This can cause deficiencies, fatigue, and other health problems in the long term. It can also lead to binge eating, which can cause weight gain and further damage to your metabolism.
Another negative impact of dieting for fat loss is the impact on your mental health. Restricting yourself from certain foods or depriving yourself of the pleasure of eating can cause emotional distress, which can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and failure. That’s no way to live!
