Signs you&#8217;re not."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Now that I&#8217;m living alone and cooking for myself, I often ask myself &#8220;Am I eating enough?&#8221;. I believe we have all heard that under-eating and restricting can lead to several mental, physical and emotional health issues. I have gone through multiple of those, and now I&#8217;m at a point where I&#8217;m prioritising my health and body! So, I created this list of warning signs that mean I am not eating enough. This list is mine and issues I have noticed whenever I&#8217;m restricting and under-eating. That being said, I created this mainly for myself and it&#8217;s most likely going to be different for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No energy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first sign, and it&#8217;s rather simple. No fuel = no energy. I recognize this when I&#8217;m more tired than usual from a workout. Also, I might sleep in or go to bed weirdly early. Normally it&#8217;s rare that I take naps but when I&#8217;m under-eating, I&#8217;m also napping more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cold and chilly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The temperature outside might be ok, but this sign is mainly about not being able to maintain a regular body temperature. Always wearing a jacket and layers even when it&#8217;s not cold outside\/indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thinking about food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When my Instagram explore page starts to get filled with food pictures, it clearly means I need to eat more. However, I do search for meal inspirations but constantly thinking about next meals, snacks or even portions that I&#8217;m &#8220;allowed&#8221; or &#8220;not allowed&#8221; to eat is a huge red flag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Irritability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This usually comes after a few days of under-eating. This is harder to notice when I&#8217;m living alone but it was clear when I lived with my boyfriend. I might get irritated about the smallest things (and usually food related) and it&#8217;s hard to calm down. It&#8217;s a clear sign of hunger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weight loss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first sign but if it gets this far, I have been under-eating for awhile already. I do not check a scale on regular bases but I usually notice when my clothes are fitting differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extreme scenarios<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Missed periods<\/li><li>Hair loss<\/li><li>Social withdrawal <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned before, this list consists of signs that I have noticed personally. However, in case you can relate to any of these points, please take a look at your daily meals. There&#8217;re various meal ideas online but I know it can be extremely overwhelming to maintain a healthy balanced diet. Contacting someone and asking for help can do a lot! Please do so, because learning to cook proper meals (and meal portions) has helped me to answer the question &#8220;Am I eating enough?&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that I&#8217;m living alone and cooking for myself, I often ask myself &#8220;Am I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":140,"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions\/140"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/13reasonsynot.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
