Mistake 1: You assume that what you eat and drink is good enough.
making this mistake is common among people who want to lose weight. Whatever people read, they believe. Just because there are few calories in a food does not mean it is nutritious. You cannot get better than fresh produce, including vegetables and unprocessed meat. The processing means that some benefits in the food are lost. You should also think about eating whole fruit instead of supplementing it with fruit juice. There are preservatives and sugar in juice that you do not find in fresh pieces.
Mistake 2: Over-eating and Under-eating.
These are two contrasting situations in nutrition weight loss schemes. Eating too much food, be it healthy or unhealthy will mean that you retain the weight you want to lose. Not eating enough will also result in weight gain because it will influence your insulin levels promoting storage of fats. Hence, it is highly advised that one eats about 5-6 light meals a day rather than eating 3 large ones.
Mistake 3: Using numerous supplements.
Supplements can be of vitamins, minerals and other compounds our body needs. But those which are targeted for weight loss are sometimes dangerous as they have not undergone FDA consulting to make sure they are safe for human consumption. Only take supplements if your doctor has advised and they should be those recommended by your GP.
You may have a friend that has lost loads of weight on one programme, but you try it and nothing happens, this is because people lose weight differently. If you have a lot of weight to lose, your first step should be to seek medical advice.
