Simplest of diet mistakes can thwart your best of efforts to get back into shape and wear your
favorite pair of denims. If unable to achieve desired results or your weight
reduces to a certain point only to scare you back, there is a possibility that
you are making some serious blunders in the context of dietary choices. Here
are some colloquial choices we often make only to regret later.
PUTTING
FAITH IN CRASH DIETS
Determined to lose
quick kilos, you tend to rely on a crash diet. Perhaps you put faith in
consuming grapefruit or cabbage soup each day. You slash your daily consumption
of calories to such a low level that resultantly excessive fat melts off. What
you do not realize in the process is that by eating fewer calories you are
training your metabolism to quite down. Once your crash diet course is over,
you are left with a body with slow metabolism rate. This allows weight to come
back when you start eating normally.
MISSING
OUT ON PRECIOUS BREAKFAST
A strict NO breakfast
may be a simple way to cut calories, but the result can be unbearable hunger
for the whole day. This may tempt you to vouch for snacks, canned food, eating
in big proportions at lunch making calories count ascend. But breakfast
enriched with proteins and fibers help reduce hunger throughout the day. There
is ample evidence to show that people who eat morning breakfast everyday are
likelier to be healthy and active.
KEEPING
AN EYE ON SNACKS
May be you are
particular about calorie intake but what about the little snack burst in
between? There’s the bag of wafers at your desk, a small slice of cake at an
office party or an ice-cream cone. All of this unplanned gulping add up to the
calories and destroy any otherwise planned, balanced diet. If you are damn
serious about losing weight, keep a track record of every bite.
A
BIT OF SNACKING IS GOOD
While tedious snacking
can take your waistline to the next level, thoughtful snacking may do the
reverse. Individuals who indulge in small meals and snacks a day are healthier
and likely to lose weight. Snacking keeps your metabolism rate in top gear,
especially if the snacks are enriched with protein. Nuts are good option and
high in protein. Research suggests that people who consume nuts tend to be
slimmer than those who don’t.
WATCH
THE DRINKS
While being particular
about the calories, we tend to neglect what’s in our drinks. This is a common
but big mistake considering some high-end coffees, aerated drinks and alcoholic beverages add up to 500 calories. What’s even sweeping is liquid calories don’t
curb the hunger and you would be craving for more after an aerated drink.
Losing excess body
weight is not an easy thing to do. You have to be strict, disciplined and
follow a dietary chart. In simpler terms, there is no other way to curb excess
calorie intake.
