If you have an ‘On again-Off again’ relationship with your dieting plan, then you are not doing it right. Guess Britney Spears realised it a long time ago, she just passed it off by calling it a ‘mistake’ about a random guy who got her jewellery (!) Okay then. In this day and age, where there is no dearth of information and of course, food - why don’t our diets work for us?
We have put together some legitimate reasons as to why we mess up on our diets. Which one is yours?
Regular exercise can help you lose only if you are truly utilizing it to burn additional calories, not as motivation to eat more. Don’t overeat during the day and tell yourself that you will shed it the next day. That will not help nor will you reach that goal overnight.
Having said that, do not simply reply on workout to help you lose weight. You will inevitably feel hungry post exercise and reach for a sandwich or a bowl of salad (even though it is a ‘healthier’ option). But that will not be enough. One needs to cut back on portion size as well as servings in one meal in addition to fat burning workout.
Be consistent - chalk out a workout plan as well as a meal plan and stick to it. Moderation is the key to dieting and life, in general. Don’t give up on your plan after a week or so. To see results, you need to give your body time. More importantly you need to muster up a ‘will’ to say NO to more food and YES to more exercise.
Your diet is full of fibre but no protein. Protein is an essential part of your nutrition intake. Your body requires protein to build muscles and maintain them.
Where there is alcohol, there is fat. Don’t kid yourself by skipping food and sticking to just drinks in order to avoid overeating. Alcohol slows down the fat burning process.
Don't give up completely on sugar and carbohydrates. These are great sources of energy and if you opt for low-carb or low-sugar foods, your craving for sweets will go up and make you give up eventually. Include the good fat in your diet and eliminate trans fats.
Water water everywhere except in your system. Drink up as much as you can in a day - especially before a meal. This helps you in portion control and if you drink cold water, it can even speed up your metabolism rate. Steer clear of aerated drinks and fruit juices.
Under no condition should you exercise on an empty stomach. Not only will this keep you from pushing yourself, you will also overeat post workout. Exercise on empty stomach means you overwork your muscles not the fat.
Last but not least, be patient and get enough sleep.
