Eating Too Little Can Ruin Your Diet, Here's What the Experts Say

Dream - Usually, people who want to lose weight will reduce their food intake. Many people are not hesitant to only consume a few minimally processed food ingredients to speed up the weight loss process.

This method can be dangerous if the amount of food is too little. Consuming too little food can actually slow down metabolism, making it more difficult to lose weight even after exercising or minimizing calorie intake.

"If you eat too little or have too much calorie deficit, over time your metabolism will slow down and can cause your weight to be stuck," said Fitness Influencer and Food Technology & Nutrition Bachelor, Maria Eleonora.

Consuming too little food is not the only way to disrupt the weight loss process. Here are other causes.

Lack of Intention

You must have the intention from yourself in order to be more disciplined when undergoing a diet. "If forced by others, it won't last long and the intention must be stronger so that you are disciplined," said Maria.

Influenced by Others' Words

Many people are not used to seeing others maintaining a diet by paying attention to their food consumption. Maybe you have been criticized or reprimanded for consuming healthier food and avoiding unhealthy snacks.

That can disrupt the weight loss process. "It's your own body, not someone else's body. If your body is good and healthy, you will also enjoy it," she explained.

Wanting Instant Results

Your weight and body shape will not change quickly. Drastic changes in weight or body shape can have negative effects on health.

Enjoy the gradual and consistent weight loss process. Usually, the results from a gradual process will last longer.

Avoiding All Types of Unhealthy Food

Avoiding all types of unhealthy food can disrupt motivation for weight loss. Occasionally, consume unhealthy food to satisfy your emotional needs.

Control the amount so that it is not excessive and does not disrupt the weight loss process. You can divide food into two categories, food for the body and food for the brain.

Food for the body usually contains sufficient carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. While food for the brain is consumed to provide emotional satisfaction.
