1.	When you don't give your body the fuel it requires, it thinks you're starving. Going on very low-calorie diets or skipping meals will cause you to want to binge. This is NOT an eating disorder! It is your body's natural response to starvation.
2.	When your body doesn't get the calories it needs, it slows down how fast it burns calories. So rather than helping you to lose weight, dieting actually makes it easier to gain weight.
3.	If you don't give your body adequate fuel, it will eventually resort to using its own supplies. However, instead of burning only fat, it will also burn muscle tissue, which is the very thing you want to keep! Burning muscle tissue will make you feel tired, depressed, and without energy. In this state, you are certainly not interested in exercising, which is one of the best ways to keep your body in shape, strong and healthy.
4.	The more you diet, the harder it is to lose weight. Your body gets used to fewer calories and slows everything down. Rather than cutting back on the number of calories you take into your body (through food), the best way to lose weight is to increase the number of calories your body uses each day (through movement/exercise). The more active you are, the more energy you'll use up and the less there will be left over to be stored away as fat.
