A lot of people who start a new diet program and fail to keep with it is because of intense hunger pains. It mainly happens in those people who are on a diet that requires them to reduce the portion size of their meals and reduce their daily calories. The obvious answer is because your body has become accustomed to the level of energy and nutritional intake that you've kept previously, and now when you decrease those values, the result is hunger pains as the body's way of trying to communicate that it needs it's original level back to maintain internal stability.
If you're accustom to 2200 calories a day then your body is adapted to this level and any drastic and immediate change will cause pain. Your body is also use to the amount of nutrients in those calories - the vitamins and minerals - so if you go to
one of the fad diets that limits certain food groups that provide those nutrients, your body will also be affected and try to communicate to you to let you know.
Reducing the amount of food and calories that you consume daily leaves you with less energy and nutrition. The body will want to reestablish what it was accustom to and triggers the intense hunger pains.
This makes it hard to stick with your new diet plan. Not to say that your diet plan is necessary wrong, but any time you make any changes to your body or daily life, you should do so in moderation and slowly so not to upset the balance that life has innately. Making drastic and sudden changes to your diet can increase your change of health risks and do more harm then good in your goals to reduce body fat. If you experience hunger pains while on your diet, consult a doctor or nutritionist and make sure your program has you on an exercise program as well. Any diet that says it can make you lose body fat without exercising and merely decreases your
daily calories is setting you up for failure and padding their pockets with more money.
