Are
you starving yourself to obesity?
Yes as much shocking and weird as it sounds it is true! You are fooling
yourself if you think starving will help you achieve your dream body. Haven't
we all come across people who are on perpetual dieting but still never seem to
shed even a gram?
Starvation
works on your body in two ways:
Firstly
it deprives your body of the basic nutrients, vitamins, carbohydrates and other
essential components provided by healthy food.
Secondly
it leaves this desire in the body that goes unruly when the chance to satiate
it presents itself. This hogging turns out to be more harmful than a normal
eating routine.
What
we eat is broken down into glucose by the body to cater for its daily
functioning. The amount of glucose left unused gets accumulated in the form of
fat in our body. Starving activates the stored glucose in our body and starts
using it. The fat stored in our body on the other hand is unfit to be used in times
of immediate need as it takes a very long time to be brought into use.
Hence
it is clear that when you starve you don't lose fat in fact you lose all the
backup of energy resources made by your body.
Also
our body is like a robot. It observes and follows. A starved body gets used to
surviving in smaller portions thus it immediately absorbs and stores food thus
doing the exact opposite of what you aimed at doing by starving yourself. Besides
weight gain not eating for long durations may lead to gall bladder stones and a
body very low on basic minerals and essential nutrients.
A
starved body takes longer to satiate as compared to a normal one. This again
leads to eating more, accumulating more hence gaining more weight. Count your
blessings not your calories. People with different metabolism rate may consume
same number of calories in a day but their bodies would react differently. So
there is no point counting calories. Eat healthy eat right and stay healthy and
stay light.
