So you've decided to lose weight. If you are
already struggling, you're not alone. Seventy-three percent of adults who made
fitness goals gave up before meeting their targets, according to an online
study conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of bodybuilding.com.
One key to sticking with your goals to drop weight may be to
squash diet derailers before they can interfere with your big goals. Here are
five five red flags that may steer you off course if you're not careful.
1.Your
diet is too regimented.
The average American gets bored eating the same thing day
after day. Plus, according to one study, dieters who gave up their favorite
food ultimately ended up overeating later.
2.You
go low fat.
Your body needs fat to function properly and helps us feel
full. Also, a lot of low-fat foods use tons of sugar to add flavor, which can
wreak just as much—if not more—havoc on your waistline.
3.You
skip meals.
You may think you're saving yourself calories, but in
reality you're setting yourself up to overindulge later in the day.
4.You
do cardio without weight training.
The more muscle you build, the more calories you burn,
according to research published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning
Research.
5.Your
diet requires you to buy pre-packaged meals.
Having to rely on these meals doesn’t teach you how to eat
in social situations.
