Before starting a diet, many people make the same mistake - they start making a list of “prohibited” foods.

The list includes foods considered harmful. For example, flour products, sweets, and everything fried.

An approach that at first glance seems correct often leads to “breakdowns”.

You can't forbid yourself from eating certain foods. Even during the period of losing weight.

Why are "blacklists" dangerous during a diet?

The very existence of a list of products that supposedly cannot be consumed because they are dangerous for your figure is a serious psychological trap.

After all, if food is given the status of “forbidden,” then you immediately want to eat it.

Believe me, you will dream of cakes or buns that you did not allow yourself to eat. As a result, you will want to break the diet.

It is better not to set yourself up for prohibitions. On the contrary, before starting a diet, tell yourself something like this: "You can eat whatever you want. But in small quantities and without exceeding the daily calorie intake."

This approach will significantly increase your chances of getting rid of excess weight.
