Weight loss, Diet & Nutrition Info

Many people make a lot of mistakes in order to lose weight. These mistakes may affect also the psyche. They think that, for example, if they eat nothing, they will lose weight immediately. This is extremely wrong, because we all should know that our body needs calories to burn in order to keep healthy. Not all the calories are ‘bad ‘, it also exist the ‘good‘ ones. We have to learn the difference between them and try to consume the ‘good’ ones. Also, we need to not trust all types of diet, because every organism is different. For example, if a diet helped someone to lose weight, this doesn’t mean it will help us too. We need to remain realistic and not to make vain hopes, because it doesn’t exist a perfect diet.

Another important thing for maintain our health during a diet is that we should talk to someone about it. We can pass through a diet easier if we share our thoughts and impressions. Besides the fact that we reveal what we are feeling, this is a good way to empower ourselves, thinking that if someone was able to keep the diet, we also can.

It is recommended not to eat something extra during the diet, but a piece of chocolate didn’t kill somebody so far. You don’t have to refuse yourself something that you want, but watch the quantity. Eat just a piece of chocolate, not the entire one.

Try to not weight yourself daily. You will not lose weight over night or put on fat. You should know that there fluctuations of weight during a day, so you better check the scales once a week.

If you think that going to gym non-stop you will soon lose a lot of weight, well, you are totally wrong. Your body will be just too tired to focus and you will be disappointed. So try to make a schedule. Twice a week of going to gym is just enough. But remember that you can walk or jogging everyday.

Moreover, it is good to keep a journal. There you should put down your alimentary habits: when and how you eat, who is joining you, your mood (for instance if you are bored, nervous, etc). These things will help you to identify the alimentary habits that are not related to your appetite but to the vices you got during the years, such as snacking when watching television.

One big mistake is to eliminate fruits. They are a source of carbohydrates and it is preferable to eat fruits than chocolate or biscuits. But there are also fruits that you should avoid and those are the ones with a high caloric intake: bananas, pears and more.

You shouldn’t set an unrealistic goal. If you lose between 500 g and a kilo per week is reasonable and realistic. If you lose more, this relies on water and muscle loss.

Also you have to announce people around you about your diet, so they won’t tantalize you with some forbidden aliments, and when you are about to give up, they should remind you the reasons why you keep that diet.

Try to think more at yourself. Go shopping, spa, buy perfumed bath salt. Indulge yourself with some other pleasures than food.

Buy some clothes that you liked a lot, but which didn’t fit you before the diet. Put them on bed or somewhere you can see them and think that soon you will be the person who will wear them.

Don’t follow a rigorous diet thinking that this will accelerate your metabolism. Just exercises can do that, but in order to have the necessary energy for this, you should eat correctly.

You may have to change many diets until you find the good one. But weight fluctuations are not healthy, they can affect the gallbladder, and it can cause depression. Avoid ‘fake diets’ which promise you fast weight loss.
