5 Signs you're eating too little for weight loss.
If you’re trying to lose weight, it seems to make sense to cut as many calories from your diet as possible. Unfortunately, it’s possible to eat too little, which not only makes it harder for you to achieve a healthy weight, but it can also cause other health problems.
Everyone has a set amount of calories, or energy, they need to simply be alive. Consistently eating less than this can cause your metabolism to slow down and your body to begin preserving what it can to survive.
Here are 5 signs that you're eating too little for weight loss:
1. You're thinking about food all the time.
2. You're tired and cranky.
3. You can't sleep.
4. You're constipated.
5. Your weight plateaus or increases.
