Why Low Calorie Diets Fail So Often

Low calorie diets usually fail because of hunger, cravings, and subconscious cheating. Hunger, the usual result of low calorie diets, is known to sabotage dieting efforts by hidden tricks like decreasing your physical activity outside your gym - you unconsciously move around less and your mood is sleepier - and it results in significant energy 'economy' on daily basis. Cravings can be a result of inevitable (on any restriction diet) deprivation. The body feels carbohydrate limitation much sooner than fat or protein limitation reacting by craving for sweets. Clinical trials showed that 80% of low calorie dieters think they consume less calories than in fact they do. Solution? Calorie limitation should come naturally, as a result of metabolic changes due to a diet that's right for you. When failing on a low calorie plan, try a low carbohydrate diet or try just eating more AND exercising more.
