<\/a>Bad things can be caused by the best of intentions. When you want to lose weight, and you go at it with gusto, with everything you have, you can often be working against your own efforts!! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/span>This study in the <\/span>Journal Neuroscience<\/i><\/span> shows that crash dieting is taken by your body to be a <\/span>stressor<\/b><\/i><\/span>. What does THAT do? It can increase the levels of stress hormones in your blood … and the bottom line is that it can lead you to binge-eat in response. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/span>(please share this with anyone you fear might be susceptible to deprivation dieting)<\/span> \"Bookmark<\/a>   <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span>I know … yes, I hear you … there are a lot of moving parts here, and just because you go on a draconian, deprivation diet, doesn’t meant you are destined to become bulimic or anorexic.<\/span><\/div>\n
 But it certainly doesn’t help.<\/b><\/i> Plus, it can make it more likely that you or someone you love will fall into that trap. Those are just the outcomes of the data of this brain study.  <\/span><\/div>\n
So what’s the alternative? Be at peace with the fact that you are a work in progress and your trip from “bad health” into “better health” is NOT going to be instant — no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you punish yourself, and especially no matter what the ads say. <\/span><\/div>\n
Plan on taking your time, and doing it right. You can’t start at the end … you have to start right where you are. Besides, if your efforts are going to last a lifetime, you have to live a lifestyle that leads to optimal health — deprivation dieting, by definition, is not sustainable in the long term.<\/span><\/div>\n
