10 Worst Weight Loss Mistakes Women Make
6. Binging on food
Sometimes women who work out or consume good food, drop their guard and stop watching what they eat. In some cases, they end up consuming twice the amount of food than they normally consume. This could increase the calorie intake. Moreover, not all low fat versions actually have low calorie offerings. In some cases, the fat free versions have a lower calorie count but a higher sugar content and that doesn’t help at all.
7. Steady paced exercise
It is seen that alternating high intensity activity with an easier workout is the best way. In some cases, you may not be aware of the fact that the body has to adapt to monotonous exercise which is steady paced throughout.
8. Indulging in snacks
Eating snacks to reduce craving for high fat junk food might be a good idea. It also keeps the body’s metabolism up and running. But too many snacks, unmindful of the calorie count, could only increase your weight.
9. Skipping exercise on tough days
On some days, women might have had a lot of running around to do. However, that doesn’t mean a workout can be skipped. Although you may have walked quite a bit and would have indulged in intense physical activity, it might not amount too much in terms of weight loss. A quick workout might be a better way to maintain your weight.
10. Avoiding exercise and weights
In some cases, women feel lifting weights or exercising might not actually help them. In fact, it is a myth that lifting weights produces muscles. In fact, lifting weights helps in putting on lean fat which is good for your body. These muscles also need greater metabolism triggering more fat burning and hence less weight gain.
