There was a time a few weeks back where I started experiencing a bit of insomnia. I immediately associated my sleeplessness with dieting and quickly determined to back off the dieting. It just made zero sense to me that I should be losing sleep because I was trying to lose weight — it just seemed downright extreme and unhealthy, so I quickly backed off a bit on dieting as a result.
Enter in Leigh Peele’s recent blogpost on “symptoms” of fat loss where I learn that insomnia can result from dieting. So it’s not just me, which is reassuring, even though I haven’t had any insomnia problems in two or three weeks (though I also haven’t been losing any more fat!).
So food for thought:
NOW, imagine your body if that flashlight. As time goes on your batteries are running low. How are you going to feel?
- Less lucid, foggy
- easily emotional
- fatigue
- hunger
- harder to wake up in the morning
- muscle soreness
- sadness
- insomia
These are not symptoms of overtraining. These are symptoms of fat loss.
Think about it folks – you are removing a physical substance from your body. It was once there but you are trying to take it away. You might say, “well, I put it on easily. Taking it away can’t be that hard. ”
When is the last time you glued something? How easy was that to get on? How much of a pain in the ass was it to get off?
Just fat loss alone doesn’t feel good, it shouldn’t feel good. Anyone that tells you that either doesn’t know, or doesn’t want you to know. That doesn’t mean fat loss can’t be good for you in the long run. It just means what you have to endure while getting there is a real task to be undertaken.
