Eliminate Big Weight Loss Mistakes
Skipping meals.
Skipping meals is a very bad habit and not only does it lead to low blood sugar, but it is also a known cause of sudden food cravings and binge eating. You’re also tempting fate when you skip meals because you’re slowing down your metabolic rate and therefore won’t be able to have any control over your blood sugar. People who eat 5 to 6 smaller meals a day will lose weight and keep it off, simply by managing blood sugar through good eating in small amounts more often.
Thinking that ‘it will start tomorrow’.
Have you heard of the Northern Pikes song, ‘tomorrow never comes and it goes like this“Soon you’ll start living their lives too. And they keep saying that tomorrow it will end. Today and the next day, but tomorrow never comes.”
Do you remember this?, and it is true. One of the hardest and scariest things to do is make the decision to get fit first and second to take the first step and embark on a new journey: your fitness program. That’s where the plan comes in, because we’re here to guide you every step of the way. So come on and let’s get started!!! You know that the more you procrastinate, the more difficult it becomes and then you will give up completely. Try it but do it TODAY!
Eat for stress and not for hunger.
Are you an emotional eater? This could be the cause of being overweight or not seeing any results even though you are on a fitness program. Understanding why this is happening and how it would have started can be like opening a door. If you find yourself reaching for or buying something quick and easy, just stop and really think about what you’re doing and why. Once you recognize this, the rest is easy! There are often a number of factors that can trigger this type of eating, but eating because we’re stressed or tired rather than actually hungry will only add to weight problems and not make you feel better. With this type of diet, we often don’t realize or even care about what we’re putting in our mouths.
It could be an entirely unhealthy food choice, loaded with fat and other nasty stuff, and also high in calories. So please, if you find yourself feeling a bit stressed, try other alternatives first (have a cup of herbal tea instead or just go for a walk) and always ask yourself this question: “Am I really hungry or am I eating to eat?” Because I could make my problem go away? – well, the short answer is NO, it won’t. Think things through. A quick fix is often a glass of water.
