class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When following a 1000 <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/banting-diet\/\">calorie diet menu plan<\/a>, there are a few dos and don\u2019ts to keep in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Do_Strenuous_Exercise\"><\/span><strong>Don&#8217;t: Do Strenuous Exercise<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is advice you probably won&#8217;t find elsewhere, but when eating so few calories it&#8217;s important to avoid strenuous exercise. This is because your body will start to break down muscle for energy, which can lead to fatigue and injury. Instead, focus on light activity, such as walking or gentle stretching.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Drink_Plenty_Of_Water\"><\/span><strong>Do: Drink Plenty Of Water<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying hydrated is key when following any <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/grain-free-diet\/\">diet plan<\/a>, but it\u2019s especially important when eating fewer calories. This is because water can help to fill you up and prevent overeating. Aim to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnut.2016.00018\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Avoid_Ultra_Processed_Foods_And_Sugar\"><\/span><strong>Do: Avoid Ultra Processed Foods And Sugar<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultra processed foods are often high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sugar (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0261561421003897\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). So, it\u2019s best to avoid them when following a 1000 calorie diet menu plan. This also includes sugary drinks, such as soda and fruit juice. Instead, go for water, unsweetened tea, or coffee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Get_Plenty_Of_Sleep\"><\/span><strong>Do: Get Plenty Of Sleep\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re sleep-deprived you\u2019re more likely to make unhealthy food choices and give in to cravings. Poor sleep also raises your cortisol levels, which can lead to weight gain (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6196958\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

This means eating a variety of healthy foods from all the food groups (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/media\/blog\/2017\/09\/26\/back-basics-all-about-myplate-food-groups\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian if you\u2019re not sure how to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/sonoma-diet-recipe\/\">your nutrient needs<\/a>.

This is because you may not have enough fiber in your diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiber helps to add bulk to your stool and can also help to regulate bowel movements (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/nutritionreviews\/article\/67\/4\/188\/1901012\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

If you\u2019re following a 1000 calorie diet menu plan you should be able to get enough fiber by including these foods in your meals and snacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Expect_To_Feel_Hungry\"><\/span><strong>Do: Expect To Feel Hungry<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re eating fewer calories than your body needs, it\u2019s normal to feel hungry. If you find yourself feeling famished, try drinking a glass of water or herbal tea first. Sometimes, thirst can be mistaken for hunger (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2849909\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also try eating smaller meals more often throughout the day.
