1. Dieting to lose weight and not improve your health.
People often forget that what they eat not only affects their weight but also their health. A healthy diet's your mood and energy levels and reduce health risk. If you see your health with greater perspective you will make better food choices and lose weight in the prosess.
2. picking an extreme diet that will not suit your lifestyle. Extreme diets will only allow you to be at your ideal weight for a short time. You will be gaining and then losing weight (the yo-yo effect) which slows your metabolism.
3. Expecting miracles overnight. Stop and think about how long it took you to put on all your extra weight. If you follow a healthy diet and exercise programme you should aim to lose 2 to 4 kg per month.
4. Skipping meals. Skipping meals makes you hungrier at the next one you will fing yourself overeating.
5. Not exercising. Is your skin feeling looser as you're losing weight? This is a sign that you may be losing water and muscle and not only fat.
An exercise programme alongside your diet is the only way to ensure that you are burning fat and keeping your muscles toned.
