A typical diet is what, about 1500 calories a day. Oh no, that will not work for me. 1500 calories is not enough food for a woman to eat in a day. This causes a great deal of fatigue when you run your body with not enough fuel. If you eat more, I promise you, you will not only feel better, you will also lose weight faster and easier. When you don’t eat enough it slows your body down and you feel bad. When you eat enough calories that are healthy food, naturally low in fat, you will physically feel better and your body will dig into your stored fat and burn it for fuel and you will lose that overweight. Diets eventually work (and some can even work fast i.e make you lose lots of water weight) BUT since they slow your metabolism your body holds onto that stored fat for dear life.
If you are not eating enough during the day it makes it much much harder to resist junk foods and other low-quality foods that are high in fat. First thing, you need to start eating a big breakfast every day, a quality breakfast that is high in protein and low in fat, like oatmeal or scrambled eggs. But even if you eat something high fat it’s better eating it at breakfast than at night. Buttered toast in the morning is usually burned as fuel during the day; buttered bread at dinner is usually stored as fat. The soda and junk food in general, don’t buy it and you can’t consume it. I’ve fallen prey to the junk at work thing too, the best defense is to bring plenty of good, healthy, low-fat quality food to eat. air-popped popcorn, fresh fruit, raw veggies like carrots, boiled eggs, nuts, are all good quality food to bring to work. Then when you get home, you’re not so stressed and hungry you lose it. and water! drink lots of water during the day, that helps a great deal too.
