To certain medical and nutritional experts,
weight loss is a science. For the rest of us, the challenge
of losing weight necessitates understanding nutrition. It exceeds
following a diet free of carbohydrates. Review the top weight
loss blunders everyone commits:
1. Following a diet
that is NOT a weight management program geared for the rest
of one’s life. For example, the low carbohydrate diet is not
nutritionally balanced enough to follow as a lifetime eating
plan.
2. Obsessive weighing in may
lead to disappointment which triggers ditching a diet. Try to
weigh yourself once a week.
3. Calorie counting miscalculating
serving sizes. Aside from natural foods like fruits and vegetables,
it is a challenge to keep up with the caloric value of many
cooked or processed foods.
4. Over-indulgence of starchy
foods like breads, potatoes, pastas, proteins, lean meats, fruits
and vegetables
5. Consuming pre-packaged foods,
processed foods opposed to fresh ones
6. Forgoing breakfast
7. Consuming inappropriate
fluids coupled with i Insufficient doses of water and consumption
of sugary beverages (sweetened iced tea, lemonade, gourmet soft
drinks, and juices high in fructose) are serious diet saboteurs.
8. Over-indulgence in food
portions.
9. Depriving the body of food
all day as a means of losing weight
10. Consumption of second servings
of foods and meals
11. A negative attitude about
dieting
12. Failure to follow a healthy
weight management plan
13. Lack of nutritional knowledge
– failure to learn about the benefits of a well balanced diet
or modifying eating habits results in the cycle of yo-yo dieting
14. Eating salads and vegetables
with excessive salad dressings and oils
15. After breaking a diet with
a bad food, binging and deferring the diet for another day
