When your body is not receiving its minimum requirement of nutrients, it goes into STARVATION MODE and starts to shut down.

• Your metabolism slows down,

• your body hangs onto your fat stores and burns valuable lean tissue first, eg. muscle

• you may feel groggy, exhausted or lethargic.

• you may struggle to focus

• when you do start eating, you may find it very difficult to stop

• the body sends urgent signals to the mind - basically FEED ME NOW! before I start to shut down.

• the subconscious mind sends urgent signals to the body “grab food” we are nutrient deficient!

Because your body starts burning valuable lean tissue instead of fat, even if you lose weight, the chances are your % body fat will increase to a higher level than when you started.

Think of the MIND-BODY connection as a 2-way communication system. One sends a signal, the other reacts according to the signal sent. You grab the most convenient foods to satisfy the craving, you eat quickly and you may have difficulty stopping. It can easily become a habit.

You’re at risk of falling into the Binge-Eating Trap
