Weight loss and fat loss are not easy journeys and are different for everyone. Some sweat for hours in the gym, while some resort to fasting. But is staying hungry a sure-shot way to reduce weight? According to experts, dieting is necessary to become slim, but special care should be taken that there is no lack of nutrition in the body.
In an interview with News18, Diet for Delight Noida’s senior dietician Khushboo Sharma said one should eat food rich in nutrition. According to the dietician, the quantity of food to be consumed depends on one’s physical requirement. Those who eat more than their body’s requirement, as well as those who eat less than the daily requirements, face diverse issues.
According to Sharma, one should keep in mind how nutritious the food consumed is. The body uses the food we eat as fuel and gives us energy by burning the calories. The dietician says that eating less does not reduce weight; on the contrary, the body becomes weak. Therefore, one needs to follow a balanced diet to lose weight.
Sharma states that when the body lacks sufficient number of calories, certain symptoms appear as the body goes into energy-saving mode. After this, the body tries to retain the fat already stored in the body to be used gradually. This is the reason one starts feeling weak bereft of a healthy, nutritious diet.
Dietician Khushboo Sharma points out the symptoms seen in the body when one eats less than the required amount of food:
- Thoughts of food on the mind all the time
- Increased irritability
- Recurrent headache
- Constant hunger
- Weakness
- Loss of focus and concentration
- Low blood pressure
- Tiredness and fatigue
