Losing Weight Mistakes

Yayyab advises on the mistakes we may make while trying to lose weight.

Running on the treadmill does not necessarily mean that you will get somewhere. All along the path, we come across several lucrative weight loss offers, solutions, techniques, and diet plans that we desperately want to believe. According to research, Americans spend over 60 billion dollars trying to lose weight.

There have been countless researchers whose primary idea was to figure out the A to Zs of weight loss. Those researchers vigorously studied and presented solutions to every problem one may come across while on a diet or on the journey of losing weight.

n the following article, we have compiled a few factors hindering your target weight and you. These factors have a very intense effect on your weight loss graph, so have a look!

Is there a magic solution to losing weight?

If you think so, you are probably living in denial. Had a magical pill taken the pounds off as quickly as blinking your eye, the world would be void of XXL-sized clothing racks and seat belt extenders. The bitter truth is, IT IS HARD. It takes a lot of your emotional and physical strength, determination, focus, and patience. It may not come easy on your plate. Over-the-counter herbal teas, miraculous protein powders, and x number of days' diet plans are all quick solutions with extremely hazardous repercussions that can even cost you an undoable price.

All Carbs are bad carbs

Carbs are the primary source of energy for the body. Low-carb diets have gained popularity over the years, but the results are extremely short-lived. Research has found that low-carb diets do not have any advantage over traditional balanced diets. Instead, they come with health issues like osteoporosis, heart diseases, lipid abnormalities, increased risk of cancer, and even sudden deaths. Complex carbohydrates will help you feel fuller for a long time and consume fewer calories; foods like cereal, which is high in fibre, and brown rice are a few examples.

Low-fat or fat-free is not always what it says.

It is just a marketing gimmick. These products may mean less fat but may not always comprise fewer calories, as the manufacturers tend to add colossal amounts of sugar to make them taste the same.

Eating healthy is a dent in your wallet

Eating healthy makes you spend a lot on the grocery now and then. But it has several aspects and strings attached to it. For example, it is far easier to grab a fast food meal on the go than cutting the vegetables, steaming them, baking the meat and finally stir-frying them to make it tasty, but is it not better than risking your health and paying heavy medical bills?

Skipping meals is advantages

This may sound quite legit, but skipping one meal during the day, thinking you are consuming fewer calories, may make you eat bigger portions later. Once you skip a meal, your body panics and starts accumulating fat to keep the body working and energetic. Burning fat does not come easy.
