Being in a negative caloric balance is necessary for maximum weight loss. The key here is to makes sure the negative balance doesn’t drain you of all energy.
And once your energy disappears, you are more likely to stray from your diet and eat whatever you can get your hands on.
So here is how to prevent restricting calories from taking away all your precious energy:
1. Don’t go too low: More caloric restriction isn’t always better here. Instead, make sure you don’t go below 1,500 calories. And never go below 1,200. Once you dip into this dark dieting territory, hormones will not be produced at full capacity and you run the risk of other internal systems being affected.
2. Have a late night meal: The key here is to make sure the meal isn’t a caloric bomb and make sure you go extremely light on carbohydrate content. Instead, focus on protein, fat and vegetables for your late night meal.
3. Stay away from low calorie energy bars: If an energy bar only as 140 calories is does not replace a meal. You see, 140 calories is just not enough energy to sustain you. If needed, have two bars or get one bar that has sufficient calories in it.
4. Have sufficient fat: Not having as much fat as possible (within your caloric range) is the biggest mistake some people make. You see, fat not only maximizes weight loss hormones, but it also induces your body to secrete feel full hormones.
5. Get moving: Decreasing energy, more often than not, is the simple result of being in the same position for too long. This happens because stagnation decreases blood flow-a necessary component for nutrient transport. So simply start moving around or do something when your energy begins to vanish.
Caloric restriction doesn’t have to be a nail in your energy coffin. As long as you follow the advice in this article, losing weight should be manageable!
