You want a break. You want to finally give in to your cravings and experiment with new foods that you haven't tried before. You want dessert!
What do you do when you're at a point of burnout and uncertain if you're going to be able to continue? By using the following helpful tips, you can combat burnout head on so that you can stick with your diet and carry on to see the success that you're after.
Let's look at what you should know.
Re-Evaluate Your Approach
First things first, in some cases the cause of burnout is simply because the plan isn't structured properly. Are you taking in sufficient calories? Are your carbs too low that you have energy lows at all times?
A poorly planned diet will lead to burnout because you'll feel miserable on it. If this is the case and you're experiencing burnout after a very short time following the diet, you should assess to see if these factors could in fact be coming into play.
