8 Things You Must Not Do To Lose Weight
It’s very easy to start dieting. What is difficult is to stick to your dieting plans so as to achieve success. It’s very common to see that people start dieting but give up in between. So to help you stay on your dieting track, here’s a list of 8 things you must not do while dieting.
1. Do not starve yourself
Dieting doesn’t mean starving yourself. Skipping meals is the worst thing that you can do to sabotage your dieting plans. When your body doesn’t get regular food supply, the brain gets the signal that food is in short supply. So it starts stocking up on fats. Your metabolism becomes slow. All this adversely affects your weight loss plans.
2. Do not set unrealistic goals
You can’t lose 20 pounds in 20 days. So stop being unrealistic and face facts. Setting impractical goals will only lead to disappointment. You’ll end up frustrated. Consequently, you’ll eat much more because of stress and your dieting plans will go down the drains!
3. Do not eat while watching TV or talking on the phone
Take out time to eat. Do not eat while doing some other work. This way you always tend to over eat. Sit on a table and eat slowly. Enjoy your food. This way your brain realizes what you are eating and you don’t overeat.
4. Do not punish yourself
Dieting should be a positive experience. It’s a positive step taken by you to make your life better, hence the whole dieting thing should be viewed as something positive. Do not go around punishing yourself by critical self-analysis. Negative feelings and thoughts will demotivate you and are not good for your diet plans.
