DIETING AND STARVATION

In today’s world, where everyone seems to be on one weight-loss plan or another, the line between healthy dieting and dangerous starvation is thinner than ever.

At TGNC, we believe in nourishment, not punishment. Let’s talk about what separates smart, sustainable nutrition from harmful habits that can do more harm than good.

🚨 What Is Starvation (Disguised as Dieting)?

Many people say they’re “on a diet,” when in reality, they’re:

• Skipping meals entirely

• Eating far below their calorie needs

• Cutting out whole food groups

• Feeling dizzy, weak, irritable, or constantly hungry

This isn’t discipline. It’s starvation — and it slows your metabolism, weakens your body, and can lead to long-term health complications.

 What Does Healthy Dieting Look Like?

Healthy dieting means:

• Eating enough to fuel your body, even in a calorie deficit

• Including balanced meals: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and fibre

• Staying hydrated

• Listening to your body’s hunger and fullness cues

• Making changes that are sustainable, not extreme

Dieting is a strategic reduction, not a disappearance of food.

⚖️ Spot the Difference:

 A Note to You (or Your Clients)

You don’t have to suffer to see results.
You don’t have to feel hungry all day to be healthy.
You don’t have to copy trends that punish your body.

What you need is a realistic, nourishing plan guided by professionals, like the ones we support and train at TGNC.

🧠 Final Thoughts

If your diet makes you dread mealtimes, lose sleep, or feel guilty for eating, it’s time to stop and reassess.

At TGNC, we’re committed to helping individuals and nutrition professionals understand the difference between discipline and damage.

Let’s promote food freedom, not food fear.
Let’s teach balance, not restriction.
Let’s make nutrition safe again.
