16.06.2024 12:11

The fact that you can’t get rid of extra pounds is sometimes due to mistakes typical for all those trying to lose weight.

Too many or too few calories

If you want to lose weight, your faithful "companion" is a calorie deficit. A comfortable deficit should not exceed 20% of the daily calorie intake.

If you stick to this restriction, your weight loss will be safe for your health and will not have a negative impact on your well-being.

Only low-fat products

Even on a diet, you shouldn't give up fats - they are as important for the body as proteins and carbohydrates. Fats are responsible for metabolism, are associated with the absorption of vitamins and help maintain a healthy hormonal background.

Nutritionists advise people who are losing weight to limit their fat intake to 60-70 g per day and monitor its quality: the best option is to consume this element from fish, nuts, avocado, etc.

Caloric content of drinks

Almost all drinks, with the exception of pure water, contain calories, sometimes so many that drinking can replace a full meal.

We repeat, you can drink water, tea and coffee without restrictions – as long as they do not contain sugar or milk.

Earlier we talked about why you shouldn’t weigh yourself too often while on a diet.
