10 Things to Stop Doing If You Want to Lose Weight

Change your habits to change your weight and choose common mistakes that you do and fix them.

1. Stop choosing the wrong diet. Diet is a suit or piece of clothes that fit your body. Your diet friend will not work because simply your lifestyle, food preferences and daily activity changes. Diet should always be personalized and should target special needs.

2. Stop setting unrealistic goals.

Don’t make unrealistic goals but instead start by small steps that make big ones. Because unrealistic goals always end with diet failure and lack of motivations. Be motivated but you should be patient too to reach your ultimate goals.

3. Stop using "lack of time" as an excuse.

Time matters but don’t make it an excuse. Always find the best time to start your weight loss diet, looking for calendar can help you to find time when you are doing nothing.

4. Stop isolating yourself.

Always look for supportive environment and always seek for a help. Isolating yourself will not result in weight loss diet success.

5. Stop underestimating your food intake.

Always use food scale to really measure food portion. Nutrition labels always mention serving in the container not the really one that you need. Always count sauces, drinks and condiments they really count and add calories.

6. Stop believing that "healthy" foods will cause weight loss.

Sure you need to eat healthy food but also in moderation as overeating will result in more calories and weight gain. Be careful from nutrition labels as hidden sources are rich in fat and calories. For example avocado is very healthy but high in calories too.

7. Stop sitting all day.

Non exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT, is a fancy term for all of the non-exercise movement that you do every day. It can account for up to 15-30% of your total calorie burn. But if you are sitting all the day the chance to burn calories from NEAT will be lower. Try to move as you can, if you have an office tasks or job having a walk for 5 minutes can be beneficial.

8. Stop overestimating your exercise activity.

Spending the whole day in the gym does not mean that you are burning more calories. Instead try heart rate clock to measure exactly how many minutes are really counted as exercise.

9. Stop compensating for exercise by eating more. Increased appetite after exercise is normal but instead of compensating calories lost in exercise try to have low carbs high protein snacks just right after your workout. Skimmed chocolate milk is a good snack too.

10. Stop expecting major results from minimal change. Don’t panic in another work if the scale does not give you the wanted result that does not mean that your diet is going wrong instead other changes may happen to your body like feeling fit and sleep well. Always stick to your regimen and don’t expect major changes from minimal ones. It is difficult to start diet but it is not impossible and changes need more time to give optimal results and goals.
