You feel bitter whenever your friends order dessert weak. Blame yourself after you lose an hour of exercise a chocolate cake. Removing extra weight should make you healthier and happier, but it always happens.
In fact, according to a recent study, diet can actually determine chronic stress. Here you will find four signs showing you the risk to suffer from anxiety induced by diet plus simple remedies that help you lose weight without losing your mind.
I feel the blame for giving in lust
Mark: you "whip" mentally every time yield of lust.
Cause: You have unrealistic goals. Did you set expectations too high - trying to lose 10 kg in a month or promise not eat chocolate again - and you're ready to make a mistake often what makes you feel defeated and hopeless.
Remedy: Make so as to be as easy as possible to have regular small successes suggest a clinical psychologist. For example, setting a goal to lose 5 kg before meeting with school colleagues gives you one chance to succeed. On the other hand, setting your goals as avoiding machine at the office, or choosing the stairs instead of the elevator, offers opportunities to congratulate you every day. Bonus: Focus on successful builds confidence. Research shows that with how you think more than you can lose weight, the more it is possible to lose weight really soon.
Stress-free control
Sign: Despite a normal workload at work, your stress level is up over head.
Reason: Loneliness. In a recent study, those receiving a diet without social support from an organized group showed stress hormone levels significantly higher than those assigned to a group weight loss program. Lack of guidance as well as lack of empathy, are most likely responsible for these results, concluded lead author of the study.
Remedy: commercial programs such as Weight Watchers or eDiets offer sound nutrition advice and a feeling that all are together in the same situation. But already belong to groups which may also help: one study found that individuals who participated in a program of nutrition and exercise church weakened 3.5 kg, while those who remained alone have gained 2 kg . Gather your family and friends around you to be supporters team. Emphasizes how important it is for you to make these lifestyle changes, and give specific examples of what kind of encouragement would help not said clinical coordinator. Addressed compliments your figure improved: very helpful. Looks daunting when you want an extra serving: not much help.
Anger, tension and "Atkins attitude"
Mark: You wake up as stinging remarks throw friends, colleagues and even strangers for the smallest mistakes.
Reason: stinginess with basic nutrients. Drastically cutting carbohydrates can lead to problems such as anger, tension and depression - a side effect that some researchers have called the "Atkins attitude". Sweet body needs to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that regulates mood, emotion, sleep and appetite. When significant reduction of carbohydrate intake, the body produces less serotonin, and it becomes difficult to be patient and control your anger. Other deficiencies that may affect mental health include lack of omega-3 fatty acids, which may result in the reduction of high-fat diet foods like nuts, fish, oil, and may contribute to depression. Insufficient intake of vitamin B6 and B12 as well as folate, have also been linked to depression and mood changes.
Remedy: Take a snack high in carbohydrates like grain bread toast or cornflakes, whose purpose at least 130 grams of carbohydrates per day, the minimum necessary for the optimal functioning of the brain. Two servings of fatty fish per week plus a handful of nuts a day will provide plenty of omega-3. Take a multivitamin as insurance against other impairments.
Constant temptation, no satisfaction
Sign:'s temptations everywhere.
Cause: You make temporary changes instead of adopting healthy habits permanent. A diet is having silently end (eg, "only two more weeks of carrots and I am a free woman!") Focuses your attention on what you can not have everything, making you feel deprived. Every time you start a new diet, it is a shock to the entire system followed by several months of agony.
Remedy: gradually incorporates small changes in your lifestyle that will remain forever. The decision to replace fries with a fruit afternoon from now is not nearly as traumatic as prohibiting any form of bread. Instead of making your food list that will prohibit them to cut the calories, focus on what you add diet to remain unsatisfied and improve your health. For example, buy fresh kiwi and two after dinner eating normally when you eat ice cream, you lose 5 kg in six months-without bursts into tears every time I pass by the cafeteria. It is easier to get used to small changes, so while you will not feel like you're "on a diet".
