| To certain medical and nutritional
experts, weight loss is a science. For the rest of us, the challenge
of losing weight necessitates understanding nutrition. It exceeds
following a diet free of carbohydrates. Review the top weight
loss blunders everyone commits: 1. Following
a diet that is NOT a weight management program geared for the
rest of one’s life. For example, the low carbohydrate diet is
not nutritionally balanced enough to follow as a lifetime eating
plan.
2. Obsessive weighing in may lead to disappointment
which triggers ditching a diet. Try to weigh yourself once a
week.
3. Calorie counting miscalculating serving
sizes. Aside from natural foods like fruits and vegetables,
it is a challenge to keep up with the caloric value of many
cooked or processed foods.
4. Over-indulgence of starchy foods like breads,
potatoes, pastas, proteins, lean meats, fruits and vegetables
5. Consuming pre-packaged foods, processed
foods opposed to fresh ones
6. Forgoing breakfast
7. Consuming inappropriate fluids coupled with
insufficient doses of water and consumption of sugary beverages
(sweetened iced tea, lemonade, gourmet soft drinks, and juices
high in fructose) are serious diet saboteurs.
8. Over-indulgence in food portions.
9. Depriving the body of food all day as a
means of losing weight
10. Consumption of second servings of foods
and meals
11. A negative attitude about dieting
12. Failure to follow a healthy weight management
plan
13. Lack of nutritional knowledge – failure
to learn about the benefits of a well balanced diet or modifying
eating habits results in the cycle of yo-yo dieting
14. Eating salads and vegetables with excessive
salad dressings and oils
15. After breaking a diet with a bad food,
binging and deferring the diet for another day
