When following a diet, it is important to adhere to certain rules so that losing weight does not harm your health and is successful.
If you take the wrong approach, you can significantly worsen your condition and not achieve significant results.
Why does weight stand still during a diet?
"Holiday" days with unhealthy food
There is an opinion that during a diet you should arrange a "feast for your stomach" during which you can indulge yourself with unhealthy and high-calorie food.
This is an extremely bad habit.
It is important not only to lose weight, but also to maintain a normal weight after the diet. This is only possible with a complete transition to proper nutrition, experts note.
Therefore, make a list of unhealthy foods (fast food, desserts, fried foods, sausages, etc.) and try not to include products from this category in your diet.
Unrealistic expectations
It is important to understand that losing weight cannot be a quick process: you cannot get rid of fat that has accumulated over several years in a week.
Therefore, it is worth stocking up on patience. If you follow a healthy diet in combination with physical exercise, you can lose about 4 kilograms in a month. This result is considered worthy.
If you expect more, you may become disappointed in losing weight and lose the right attitude.
No food diary
If you honestly keep a food diary on a regular basis, you can see all the errors in your diet. There is no need to be afraid or embarrassed about this: no one will see the records anyway.
However, a food diary will help you to abandon the illusion that you "don't eat anything, but the weight still doesn't go away." Sometimes we leave fruit juice, ketchup, salad dressing, soy sauce or sweet fruits in our diet. Products in this category may seem harmless, but this is not so: often it is because of them that it is difficult to get rid of fat deposits.
