6- Don’t starve yourself!
When trying to lose weight, it is important not to starve yourself excessively. At Health Natural, we advocate healthy weight loss by eating smaller portions, exercising more and increasing your intake of healthy proteins and carbohydrates. No matter how fast you lose weight, you should never starve yourself. Not only is this bad for your health, but it is also not sustainable.
Intermittent fasting, which involves alternating periods of fasting and eating over the course of a day or week, is one of the few exceptions to the rule. When practiced properly, intermittent fasting can help you lose weight by stimulating a process called “metabolic switching” that causes the body to use ketones stored in fat rather than glucose stored in the liver.
If you decide to practice intermittent fasting, it is important to continue to consume an adequate number of calories according to your individual needs.
