While eating a healthy diet of fruits, vegetables, and grains; and doing regular exercise for the heart and muscles is important, repeating some bad daily habits can prevent people from burning fat and maintaining their weight loss. However, by avoiding certain common mistakes it is possible to stay at a healthy weight in the future, rather than being sick and overweight or obese. Here are some big blunders:
1. Going to sleep late
Eating a healthy dinner before sleeping is a good start. Meanwhile, getting enough shut-eye is important as sleep deprivation can cause problems such as insulin resistance and weight gain, according to EatThis.
2. Not eating enough healthy fats
Avoiding trans fats is a good thing. However, it is also important to eat healthy fats from foods such as seeds, nuts, avocados, and fish.
3. Home-cooked meals with big portions
Even when cookomg healthy meals, portion control is important. It is important to include lean protein and little fat in meals made from scratch.
4. Consuming many "diet" snacks
Such snacks are often low-fat, but also high-sugar, which turns to fat. It is better to prepare homemade healthy snacks.
5. No nutritional deficiency checks at doctor's clinic
Regular health checkups are important. However, it is also crucial to be checked for a lack of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
6. Never asking about restaurant food preparation
When dining out, a certain dish might sound super healthy. However, it is better to request that butter and cream not be added to meats and veggies, and sauces be served on the side.
7. Not watching sodium and sugar
Counting calories is wise. However, it is also critical to keep an eye on sodium and sugar in foods, and especially when they are "hidden."
8. Never decompressing after a workday
The first step is not to "stress eat" at work. However, relaxing is important after a stressful day at the office or school, as high stress levels can trigger results such as abnormal blood-sugar and weight-gain.
9. Drinking H20 from a disposable plastic bottle
While drinking enough water daily to stay hydrated is important, it is advisable to use reusable bottles. A 2011 Harvard study linked Bisphenol A (BPA) in throwaway bottles to wider waists and obesity.
Kacey Lauchnor lost almost 100 pounds (45 kg). She advises to make a weight-loss plan, stop eating when full, and do enjoyable exercises, according to Yahoo.
