“Please don’t challenge your body and starve yourself”
Anything between two to four kgs a month is a healthy average to maintain when you are trying to lose weight in a sustainable way. But
Kim Kardashian lost seven kgs in three weeks! Which isn’t healthy unless done under supervision.
Crash diets lead to nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances which, in turn, cause autoimmune diseases, infertility, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, skin problems, digestion issues, and an overall inflammation of the body. It get worse if you have a pro-inflammatory lifestyle that includes smoking, drinking and not sleeping enough—common among millennials. The truth is, eating less will not kill you. If you have an inflamed body, go on a liquid-heavy diet. If your body’s requirements are met, it’ll do you good. The electrolytes in your body are crucial. Maintain a balance by hydrating and increasing your intake of vegetables and fruits, Your weight loss plan has to be customised, and eating on time and portion control are crucial.
What also matters is what you do after you have attained your target weight. Learn from Shane Warne,please. Don’t starve yourself and then binge-eat!
Remember: the only way to lose weight is to do it in a way that keeps you in touch with your body. Please don’t challenge your body or starve yourself.
