Responsibly controlling calories can be a challenging but important exercise.
And from a StressBusting™ perspective, it is vital not to become so preoccupied with it that it effects your moods and outlooks.
Sensible calorie control can be achieved by reference to recommended daily intakes for people of a certain sex and age, which are readily available online.
But drastic reductions in intake can be deeply harmful to mood and perspective, particularly if new practices are implemented not incrementally but overnight.
This can result in what we describe as "hanger" - a non too enjoyable mix of hunger and anger born of a shortage of energy due to calorie deficit.
We are bombarded as a society with new dietary strategies that claim to revolutionise weight loss and the pressure for instant gratification can result in the adoption of extreme steps to secure the end result desired.
But as we explain in our posts entitled "Variety may be the Spice of Life, but Moderation is the key to long term Wellness" and "Avoid the “All Inclusive Breakfast Buffet” approach to Stressbusting™", measured changes are the order of the day when it comes to lifestyle changes designed to enhance overall wellness.
And specialist advice should always be sought in the event of a pre-existing medical condition or any other concerns before embarking on any weight loss programme - see our "Legal Notices" page for further info.
