Secret Six Reasons: Why diet doesn’t work?
Have you ever wondered why aren’t you losing weight despite a workout and strict diet? Here are the commonest secrets for diet failure.
Probable protein lack
Lack of protein in diet is the commonest cause that prevents you from weight loss. Make sure to add lean meat, fish, beans, low fat dairy, nuts or other foods high in proteins to every meal. Protein needs high calories to digest, much more than carbohydrates. Digesting food rich in protein helps use up more calories thus promoting weight loss.
Calcium curb
Insufficient calcium retards weight loss. Calcium essentially promotes fat breakdown. Add zero-fat or low-fat dairy products instead of whole-milk products to diet. Two of your meals everyday should be calcium rich. More calcium daily means almost twice the amount of weight loss.
Huge snacks
A small in-between meal to fill up your tummy for the time being is called a snack. It should not exceed 150 calories. Even one calorie above this is counted as over snacking and thus hampering weight loss.
Skipping is bad
Do you believe skipping meals or replacing them with lighter ones instead of a proper breakfast or dinner helps to lose weight? Well, then think again. Skipping meals can lead to feeling extremely hungry and overeating at the later hour and most of the times food consumed is junk. So avoid skipping meals, you will only skip weight loss if you do so!
Weekend bingers
Following diet unfailingly whole week permits none to binge over the weekend. These extra calories over a weekend can actually be hampering your diet and weight loss plan. A tiny treat every other day or even daily can be more beneficial than denying calories you need daily and consuming them just on weekends. Do not forget your daily calorie equation while doing so. Eat a treat but do not over-eat to cross daily calories count.
Vagueness
Maintain a dairy to keep a track of all you eat during the day. You will often find that you forget all you've eaten during the day. Making a note of each meal will help you calculate calories consumed and deter you from overindulgence. This will also help you to find out where you might possibly be going wrong with your diet.
