Why Weight

Avoiding Common Diet Mistakes

By Tiffany Provost

Like most people, you will want to see instant results when you make the effort to lose weight. Read through these common diet mistakes to see how you can avoid them and start dropping the pounds.

Get calories through liquids. You may think that as long as you eat healthy, the weight will come off. But don't forget about drinking healthy too. A lot of your daily caloric intake could be happening just by drinking a beverage other than water. Sodas, milks, pop you name it, they all add to your waistline. They are filled with empty calories that don't leave you feeling full. You should not make the diet mistake of drinking beverages that are very high in calories.

Insufficient consumption of food. Another wrong idea is that if you cut your calories drastically, the pounds will melt away. All you would be doing if you don't eat enough is sending your body a message that it needs to conserve fat stores. If your body thinks you're starving it starts packing away vital food supplies. Eat sufficient healthy food every day so that your metabolism is always working at its maximum. Fix this error and your mirror reflection will show the results.

Blame it on your genes. You know the kind of thing - "I got my hips from my grandma".

Everyone can come up with a reason why their diet isn't working. It is too bad that genes are not always the cause. Genetics are usually not the cause. Even if you do have the same body type as relatives doesn't mean you must expect to look the same way. Despite your genes, a good diet and exercise can still change your body.

Skipping breakfast. This is probably the most common diet mistake people make. Be sure to have a healthy and generous-sized breakfast or your metabolism will actually slow down. Unless your metabolism is high in the morning, your exercise may be a waste of time and effort.
Breakfast is important, but make sure it's a nutritious one. Doing this will keep you feeling full longer and help curtail snacking. This is truly one dieting error you should not make!

Don't quit. Losing weight is a process that works over time. You won't get the body of your dreams right away. Just keep plugging away with your healthy plan and avoid common diet mistakes. Eventually, you'll see the results you worked so hard to get.
