7 Things You Should Never Do to Lose Weight
5. Taking diet pills and medication
Avoid using diet pills or weight loss medication to lose weight, no matter how much weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to do it. Your body should be allowed enough time to accustom itself to your gradual weight loss. Any weight related change that takes place suddenly may inflict negative effects on your body’s balance. Be patient with the time your body takes to lose weight and avoid taking pills.
6. Not rewarding yourself when you see a difference
Putting in effort to lose weight is not an easy task because, you cannot see results overnight. If you have been exercising from months or monitoring your diet closely, you ought to pat yourself on the back when you see even a slight loss of weight or a change in measurements. Being too hard on yourself by setting unattainable weight loss goals will only lower your morale. Reward yourself with a tiny treat every now and then to keep your morale high.
7. Setting a weight loss goal to look like someone
It is good to have a role model when you want to achieve goals in your life and that applies to your goal of losing weight too. But getting obsessed about having the exact body structure like someone else can take a toll on your body. Every person’s metabolism, immunity levels and body adaptability levels are different so you cannot expect to have the exact body measurement of a supermodel who you may be aspiring to become like.
