subject: Nutritionist's Tips - Common Dieting Mistakes [print this page] Most people who dont follow up on their diets dont have any idea as to why their diet plans stopped working. Ask your nutritionist and he will tell you that the most common problem of a diet plan backfire is lack of patience coming from a string of de-motivations. Experts say that too much stress can help in the weight gain process. There are others who say that even if you are on a diet, you end up meating a lot more calories than you think.
According to most nutritionists, the most common problem lies in the fact that people dont realise what every-day habits are causing them to put on more weight. This is the root of the problem and unless it is solved, no amount of dieting can help in the weight loss process. Perhaps you are binge eating because you feel let down by the diet program. Or maybe, you are gulping down the same calories that you are not allowed to chew. Many beverages contain enough calories to tie you down into a lifetime of obesity. In order for the diet to start showing some progress, you must quit soda drinks, alcohol and too much tea or coffee.
Additionally, it is important that you dont skip any meal of the day, most importantly, the breakfast. People who did have breakfast have statistically shown to have weighed less than those who skipped it. The popular notion of not having a few bites in the morning can throw some calories off is false. You would compensate for that by eating more later on. Another trick is to eat many small meals a day. Keep the meals at frequent intervals off each other, but make sure that you eat only a little each time.
There is also the problem of eating too many healthy foods. The old saying of too much of a good thing is a bad thing comes into play here. Healthy foods are not zero in calories. They are just lesser in them than junk food. But if you have too many healthy foods, then you are over eating just the same. Learn to chew more slowly and savour the taste. By doing this, you will feel full more faster and not be tempted to re-fill your plate. Consult your nutritionist today and become commited to your diet and your weight loss program.
