QuestionHi,
I have just finished being on a diet (I've reachet my ideal weight) but I'm afraid to start eating regularly again because I heard about the so-called starvation mode. I was told that when you go on a pretty strict diet, your body goes into starvation mode and when you start eating again, your body takes everything you put in your mouth and stores it as fat. Is it true? If I am 115 pounds and 5 ft 6, what is an ideal nutrition I should be recieving? I also have another problem. Since I oficially stopped my diet, I seem to have lost the control I had over my eating. Often I find myself eating just because I'm bored and I can't stop. Then, I am overcome by this horrible sense of guilt and I really hate it. Because of my diet, I have become very aware of the number of calories in foods, their fat etc. and have kind of been obsessing about it. How can I make sure I eat healthyly and not eccessively without having to continually think about calories and counting in my head? I really would like to be able to relax and just ease myself into a new diet without gaining nor loosing weight (and maybe even allowing myself a couple splurges a week). Could you tell me how to structure a meal plan that will allow me to do all this? I know it is a lot of info and I really appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you so much,
Kate
AnswerDear Kate,
As an author of successful diet program including 'endless' maintenance protocol, I would advise to you learning about our approach at http://bantadiet.com
Our dieters whom we managed to reach after one year on the diet, reported that the 'circular' organisation of the planning allowed them to keep the lost weight off for at least one year. As to cravings and eating just because of being bored, these things disappeared within one week on the diet.
Sure enough, you'll have more informed questions - please feel free contacting me and I'll do my best answering them.
Hope it can help,
