6 Biggest Weight Loss Mistakes to Avoid
The topic of weight gain and weight loss is one that women can go on talking endlessly about. Every woman has experimented with her diet and exercise regimen so as to lose or gain weight. However, most of them end up getting bored of these tactics and unfortunately go back to the vicious circle of abstaining from rich food and then succumbing to greed by eating them and feeling guilty while doing so. Your weight loss strategies might not have worked because of certain common mistakes you may be doing. Here are those that you ought to avoid if you wish to successfully tread on the path to fitness.
1. Crash diets
The biggest mistake that people do is to go on crash diets. They feel so guilty after eating a rich meal that they just get up one fine day and declare it to be the first day of their ultra strict diet. They give up on anything even remotely sugary or fattening and try to survive on raw and organic stuff. You have to slowly get the healthy stuff into your diet, and get used to eating them. You just cannot start a completely new diet and expect it to work. Your body is not used to this sudden change and will react against it by making you feel weak and irritated.
2. Only dieting
The beautiful feeling of having lost weight comes more often than not, only through a healthy combination of regular exercise and dieting. Diets should not be short term things; you should make them a part of your life. However, merely dieting or healthy eating will not help you lose weight. It will only help to avoid further weight gain and maintain the current weight. You need to exercise regularly for a minimum of 30 minutes.
3. Skipping meals
The trick to healthy eating is to consume small portions of food every 2 to 3 hours and never starve yourself. You should never skip meals, for this makes the body weak and brain cells work slower, making you feel irritated and moody enough to hog on your next meal.
