EATING TOO LITTLE

Surprisingly one of the biggest problems dieters face is actually eating too little! When you eat too little, your body goes into a kind of “starvation mode” in which it slows the metabolism down to conserve precious body fat.
The body thinks it is starving, and that famine is imminent. Naturally, its instinct is to preserve body fat in case food has become scarce. So you have to convince your body there is plenty of food.

That means you have to eat plenty of food, and often. Skipping meals will leave you hungry and cranky, and you will be more likely to start craving things. Plus, it will slow your metabolism down immensely.

You must keep your metabolism up at all times, and that means eating often. That, of course, means eating healthy foods that are low enough in calories that you can eat them in quantity and often.

You should:
ü Eat every 2-4 hours.
ü Eat smaller meals of 200-400 calories each.
ü Eat plenty of low calorie fruits and vegetables.
ü Stick to whole grains.
ü Don’t eat much sugar.
ü Never skip meals.

You should keep a list of “safe foods” with you that you are allowed to have in unlimited quantities. Either memorize a list of 10-20 foods or carry it with you everywhere you go. This will help you grab a snack any time you want one without feeling guilty.
