If you make any of these 8 mistakes you won’t lose weight, no matter what diet you are using. Here you’ll discover what they are and how to avoid them.
1. Not planning. “I don’t know what my triggers are, what my danger situations are that cause me to lose my healthy focus or want to overeat.” Fix: Take ten minutes every night before bedtime to plan your schedule and your diet for the next day. Include accomplishing the single most effective thing you could reasonably do to help you lose weight and get healthy. Consider possible food and eating triggers you might run into and plan a workaround.
2. Fixing feelings with food. “I’m kind of feeling down, so let’s have dessert.” Fix: Plan to eat healthful food routinely all through the working day. Make certain you have encouraging people in your life to communicate to and talk to them. On the other hand, spend time genuinely helping others, as it can do amazing things for your spirits. Get medical assistance if you need it.
3. Avoiding exercise. “I’ll start that workout routine next week…” Fix: Start slowly, perhaps start by walking a little daily, if only for ten minutes. Check out the types of exercise that take only a few minutes a week (high intensity training) if time is an issue, or conversely those that are easiest, like walking, if the stress and strain of exercise is an issue.
4. Looking for the future fix. “If I can just get that new workout equipment, or running outfit, my fat will start dropping off.” Fix: Question yourself about what you can do right away to shift your body toward wellness. Then do it. Include this question in your evening planning sessions.
5. Imagining tasty sweets or other junk food. Fix: Plan to keep healthy but quick food around, and eat it often throughout the day. Prevent cravings before they arise.
6. Tolerating the insulin yo-yo. Some foods will cause your body to rush in with insulin. Your blood sugar goes up and down like a yo-yo leading to fat storage and fatigue. Fix: Notice when these swings happen, and what you ate just before them. Avoid the fast/binge syndrome by planning to eat regularly throughout the day. Some supplements like chromium and cinnamon are thought to help smooth out these swings. See a doctor if you need too.
7. Packing in junk food during a hunger attack. Acting like a “Cookie Monster.” Fix: Plan for eating quality food before you are really hungry. Develop better awareness of your body’s subtle hunger clues. Eat a reasonable amount slowly, and then wait at least 20 minutes before you eat more.
8. Shopping with bad habits. Fix: Invade the healthy fresh food areas of your local market before venturing into the processed foods sections, but only after you’ve eaten well. Plan to buy healthy meals and snacks in your nightly planning sessions before you ever go to the store.
