It is difficult to get started during the beginning stages of a new diet. Regardless of what kind of diet you select,
there are some common mistakes that almost everyone makes. You should avoid these mistakes right from the start so that you can get healthy in the long term.
In this article, you will discover 6 of these mistakes, so you can eliminate them from your diet plan and reach your
goal faster.
1. You start the diet with negative thoughts
“Weight loss is exhausting,” “healthy food does not taste good”, “how can I do sports after a long day when I’m so
tired?” It does not work this way! You have to start the diet before you talk badly about it. Then you have to show
some perseverance and not immediately abort everything if there are no fast results. Good results require time!
2. You only eat light products
You cannot put your body on fat loss completely. Fat is an important food for your brain. Light products lack this
fat, which is replaced by infinitely many sugars, so they have some taste. In addition, these light products
saturate you worse, which is why you need to eat more, so that the feeling of satiety occurs. This is just a vicious
circle.
3. You only torture yourself with healthy food
“I’m dieting, I cannot eat that. Ugh,” you think? If you torture yourself too much and think about what you are NOT
allowed to eat, the diet will not be a success either. If you want some chocolate, you do not need to swallow a
whole bar, but, here and there, a piece of dark chocolate is even healthy. Enjoyment is allowed in moderation and is
a good precaution against sudden food cravings and the yo-yo effect.
4. You do not recognize wrong diet products in time
Do you think you are doing something good with a healthy smoothie during your diet? Not necessarily. A pre-prepared
smoothie from the supermarket is a real sugar bomb! Even if it is fruit sugar, it can be quite dangerous if you
drink too much of it. Try the healthier variant, a green smoothie, which contains a large portion of vegetables,
best made by yourself, instead of a finished product.
5. You do not give your body any time to adjust
Do not give up immediately if you think you can never get used to living healthier. It takes a few days (or weeks)
before your body can adjust to the changeover. You must not give up too soon. Try to get a healthier diet step by
step, as it may be too extreme for some people.
6. You put yourself under pressure and expect too much at once.
“I did not have dinner today, why did I not lose weight?” Does this sound familiar? Do not be too hard on yourself
and do not expect great success overnight. A diet cannot change everything a week before the beach holidays. When
the weight loss phase has begun, you should not weigh yourself every day, as that can only demotivate you. Instead,
you only have to stand on the scales every two weeks.
