So you are eating healthy and exercising regularly yet you still can’t get into your favorite pair of jeans. You start to wonder what it is that you are doing wrong. Maybe you need to exercise a little bit longer each day? Maybe you need to eat fewer calories? The truth is there are numerous factors which can affect your weight loss goals. In this article I will provide some of the common weight loss blunders.
For anyone who wants to lose weight fast, crash diets seem appealing. For instance, you eat nothing but cabbage soup for a few weeks and you drop 10 pounds. However, there is a down side to that type of dieting. When you cut your calories drastically your metabolism adjusts to that change. Once you have dropped the wanted weight and you resume your usual eating habits, your metabolism can no longer perform to its fullest capacity. It is only capable of burning these few calories which you were consuming before. That is one way that dieting takes a turn for the worse.
Skipping breakfast is another way that a lot of people cut out calories. They think that by missing this important meal they are improving their weight when in fact they are making it worse. By skipping breakfast they are driven by hunger and unplanned snacking for the remainder of the day. Often times, the snacks that we consume when we miss our breakfast are heavier in calories then our morning meal. So be sure to make breakfast a part of your daily routine. Furthermore, if you ever need to skip a meal during the day, try to purchase healthy whey protein shakes. They have no saturated fats, cholesterol or sodium. They are perfect for quick weight loss.
