_6_Don’t starve
There is a healthy balance for losing weight. When you don’t eat enough, that can cause as many problems as overeating. Your metabolism slows down when you drop your calories below 1,200 a day because it’s trying to save energy. So, don’t starve yourself and don’t eat too much. Practice mindful eating and portion control.
Chew slowly and purposefully and when you feel 80% full, stop eating. This will help you to eat enough food to get the energy you need without eating too many calories.
Remember, even healthy food choices have calories too. Eating more than you need to even after you feel full will have adverse effects on your weight loss goals.
