Jim Katsoulis explains why restrictive diets backfire. Cutting calories too drastically shocks your body into intense hunger. Eating low-nutrition foods leaves your body signaling for essential nutrients. Eliminating favorite foods creates psychological cravings that amplify hunger even more.

3 reasons your diet's making you hungrier. Number 1, you're over-restricting. You're going from your normal calories to some drastic cut in a day, and it's freaking your body out and making you super hungry. Number 2, you're focusing more on cutting calories than you are increasing nutrition. When you're not getting enough nourishment into your body, your body sends you a hunger signal. And number 3 is you feel deprived because you've completely cut out your favorite foods, and now you're freaking out that you can never eat them again.
