New Delhi, 2-Sep-2020

Losing weight is one of the most important things for many people, not just due to cosmetic reasons, but also because they are aware of the many health issues that stem from being overweight or obese, and the consequences it can lead to. However, as losing weight, working out at the gym, and following a diet become popular trends, especially among the urban people of the country and the world, it has unfortunately become an unsaid competition that everyone is trying to win at, so much so, that they lose sight of the real reason why they set out on this journey in the first place. However, some of us may often not realize that we have fallen in the trap. Any expert would tell you that as important as it is to lose weight, it is also important to do it the right way, without taxing your body, or depriving it of nutrients that it requires. It is also important to ensure you are not starving yourself just to shed a few kilos.

5 signs you are losing weight in an unhealthy way
=========================================
1. You are always tired � So often we hear that the secret to weight loss is to cut off carbs from our diet. However, we often do not realize that carbs are the main source of energy for our body, and there are good and bad carbs. Carbohydrates consumed in the form of sugar and processed foods can lead to weight gain, and while there is a need to create a calorie balance or deficit to maintain or lose weight, not consuming any carbs at all can make you feel fatigued and tired all the time, which is not healthy at all.
2. You are starving � The idea of a weight loss diet is to eat small portions of meals throughout the day, and eat healthy, nutritious food. If you feel you are constantly hungry or starving, then you are most likely restricting eating in the wrong way, in order to lose weight.
3. An underlying disease � A lot of people feel ecstatic when they start losing weight without making any changes to their diet or incorporating any major lifestyle changes in their routine. However, if you are losing weight unintentionally, it could be a sign of an underlying illness and you must visit a doctor for the same.
4. Several nutritional deficiencies � If your regular checkups show that you are suffering from several nutritional deficiencies, and you were on a weight loss diet recently, it could be a sign of losing weight unhealthily. A balanced, nutritious diet is recommended for weight loss not just because it helps you shed the kilos, but also because these nutrients are needed by your body for essential functions. Your body may give you signs if you are not treating it right. Digestive troubles, lethargic feeling, feeling low, dull skin, rough and dry hair, etc are all signs that you are not providing your body with adequate nutrition.
5. Body pain due to excess exercise � Workouts are important to aid weight loss and to stay healthy. However, in a bid to lose weight quickly, people often engage in vigorous exercise at once, which can lead to injuries, body pain, and muscle pain. It is recommended that you start with low-intensity exercises such as brisk walks, jogging, etc, and then dive into more intense ones to stay fit, build muscle.
