Standard errors in every diet
Why don't you lose weight and don't lose weight, even though you're on a diet? You are probably making standard mistakes, which affect the effectiveness of the diet. Check if any of the reasons why you are not losing weight are on that list...
The probable truth is that even though you are "on a diet" you are eating and taking in many more calories than you think or need.
For beginners, one piece of advice: stop thinking about dieting. Instead, you think about your own habits, which can jeopardize your child's plan. "Dieting" can create your obsession with food and even make you give up too easily, because it is an "impossible undertaking"!
You are probably not even aware of how it is possible to increase your calorie intake very easily and quickly. Each additional tablespoon of salad dressing probably adds an additional 75-100 calories, each additional tablespoon of butter adds about 100 calories, and each bag of chips adds about 160 calories…
If you eat while cooking, start each day with a high-calorie coffee drink, finish the unfinished meals of your children and family members, or drink one more glass of wine - these are all some of the habits that will always jeopardize the success of any child, who should you adhere to and, probably, one of the reasons why you are not losing weight.
Just as calories are very easy to add, so are they very easy to subtract.
Check out this list of common mistakes and see if you're making any of them yourself:
Why you don't lose weight, reason no. 1: Dieting is not a competition
There is no prize for finishing your dish in record time! You are not a contestant, nor is the consumption of food your participation in a contest or sweepstakes!
A large number of business and private obligations during the day has led to the fact that most of us adopt this kind of unhealthy food consumption habit.
Food should be consumed casually, so that you can feel the taste of food in every bite, and get a signal of satiety from our body, before overeating!
Why you don't lose weight, reason no. 2: Skipping meals
Research shows that those who skip breakfast have more weight problems than those who don't. There's an obvious misconception that skipping breakfast – or any meal – cuts your calorie intake. The real truth is that most people who eat less than three meals a day usually end the day with more calories, adding up to the day's total.
Be persistent in having three meals a day. Always start your day with a healthy breakfast, but be careful and choose the ingredients for your meals wisely.
A healthy breakfast should contain both protein and fiber. For example: an egg, a piece of whole wheat toast, with half a grapefruit has only 250 calories, and will keep you feeling full until lunch.
Why you don't lose weight, reason no. 3: You are consuming too many "liquid" calories
We call "liquid" calories the calories you ingest by consuming various drinks and beverages: alcoholic beverages, juices, coffee with cream and sugar, teas, carbonated beverages. Some studies show that "liquid" calories from soft drinks account for over 20% of total calorie intake. The main problem is that the intake of such calories, i.e. by consuming refreshing drinks, you quench thirst, not hunger!
The solution is to consume natural freshly squeezed juices, without any additives, instead of refreshing non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks! If you must consume alcohol, then choose as weak a drink as possible.
Why you don't lose weight, reason no. 4: Oversized portions
Oversized portions are becoming the "standard" in certain restaurants, in order to win over new customers. Probably, such a "standard" is then transferred to our homes.
Try to reduce food portions by using smaller plates and bowls when serving food. Do not eat the portion until the last bite, always leave a few bites on the plate, this will help reduce the intake of unwanted calories.
Why you don't lose weight, reason no. 5: Choosing unhealthy supplements
Regardless of the fact that any salad is a healthy option in your diet, any unhealthy addition such as, for example, high-calorie bacon dressings, cheeses, croutons, even regardless of small amounts, contributes to the intake of a large amount of calories.
In most restaurants, grilled chicken and salad is not always a better choice than a burger! It all depends on the portion size and toppings and toppings…
Why you don't lose weight, reason no. 6: Endless food consumption
By endless food consumption is meant the continuous intake of food, usually from boxes or bags, while watching TV programs or reading a book. Or, if you are finishing the remaining dishes from the plates of your housemates. Resist the urge to finish off someone else's plate!
Instead of endless food consumption, while relaxing with a TV program or reading a book, try drinking a glass of plain water or a cup of unsweetened tea!
We hope that this list of mistakes will help you recognize why you are not losing weight and where you can make a breakthrough and reach your ideal weight. It's all about thinking and smart choices, and always, it just depends on us!
