Are You Eating Enough To Acheive Your Health & Fitness Goals.

Eating enough calories can also be a concern, whether it’s due to intentional food restriction, decreased appetite or other reasons.

In fact, under-eating on a regular basis can lead to a number of mental, physical and emotional health issues.

Here's how you can check yourself before your wreck yourself. Eat healthy & Be Well.

- Check your energy level: When you don’t eat enough calories, you’re likely to feel tired most of the time.

Restricting intake to fewer than 1,000 calories daily can slow down your metabolic rate and lead to fatigue since you’re not taking in enough calories to support even the basic functions that keep you alive.

-Constant hunger: Studies confirm that appetite and food cravings increase in response to drastic calorie restriction due to changes in levels of hormones that control hunger and fullness.

What’s more, low calorie intake has been shown to increase production of cortisol, a stress hormone that has been linked to hunger and increased belly fat .

-Sleep issues: Sleep deprivation has been found to lead to insulin resistance and weight gain in dozens of studies. In another small study of 10 young women, four weeks of dieting led to greater difficulty falling asleep and a decrease in the amount of time spent in deep sleep.

- Irritablity: If little things have begun to set you off, it could be related to not eating enough.

IIrritability was one of several issues experienced by young men who underwent calorie restriction as part of the Minnesota Starvation Experiment during World War II. To keep your mood on an even keel, don’t let your calories drop too low.

- Anxiety: Although dieting itself may lead to moodiness, outright anxiety can occur in response to very low calorie intake.

In a large study of more than 2,500 Australian teens, 62% of those who were classified as “extreme dieters” reported high levels of depression and anxiety.

Consider a fitness tracker that helps you log your caloric intake to make sure you're eating enough to support your health and fitness goals. Don't undo all the hard work you're trying to do to be healthy by simply not eating enough.
