Could be that you've thrown your body into the vortex of 'Starvation Mode' and your body's metabolism has found a way to ingeniously utilize those few calories that you are consuming. If this sounds familiar, try to increase your intake of calories - especially if you have slid under the '1,200 calories per day' file. You may experience a weight gain for a couple of days, but it should rapidly decrease once your body's metabolism levels off and kicks into high gear again. On the other Diet Hand, you may have reached the ideal weight for your body size. Check the weight charts at Diet Bites and if you see that you are in the acceptable range, odds are - that is exactly what has happened. However, meet with your family doctor or dietitian if your calorie intake is below 1,200 calories. You may need assistance with hidden medical problems, such as thyroid. One last key could be in the actual number of calories that you are consuming each day. Take time to add up your calories - not only for 1 day, but for several days in a row. You could be eating more than you realize as most people underestimate the number of calories they consume each day up to 30%. That's about 1/3 the calories for all of the daily meals! |
