They have been frustrated by their attempts at weight loss before.
Sure, they lost a few pounds.
But soon, the weight came right back, and then some.
Let's examine the 3 main mistakes that many people make when trying to use weight.
First of all, you need to understand how your food choices affect your weight loss efforts.
We have all heard the adage " a calorie is a calorie' but that is simply not true.
And, the mass advertising of "healthy foods" has inundated us all.
Let's take a look at the 3 most common nutrition mistakes people make when choosing foods to eat.
Mistake 1: Eating too much sugar! Avoid refined carbohydrates at all costs.
These are food items such as sugars, flours, sodas, breads, pastas, desserts, and the like.
The reason for that is that they are empty calories, and break down rapidly in your body.
The glycemic index is a scale that will tell you how quickly food is broken down and it's impact on your blood sugar.
This triggers a cascade of events that ultimately causes you store fat.
If you want to lose fat, you must avoid these foods.
Eating fat does not make you fat, eating refined carbohydrates does! Do you want to know the worst part? After the carbohydrate is broken down and stored, it then triggers an abnormal hunger response, causing you to crave carbohydrates, and to be hungry again very quickly.
Mistake 2: Consuming "diet drinks" and "no sugar added" foods that are sweetened with artificial sweeteners like Sorbitol, saccharin, aspartame and sucralose, These are actually worse for you than sugar itself.
All of these artificial sweeteners have been linked to cancer, tumors, and obesity.
Yes, artificial sweeteners cause weight gain by disrupting your body's natural hormones.
Studies have shown that when people give up their daily "Diet Drink" (filled with aspartame) they quickly lose up to 10 pounds just by eliminating the consumption of this toxic sweetener.
Mistake 3: Believing that "dieting" is the only way to lose weight is a sure way to sabotage your weight loss efforts.
By restricting your calories below the amount your body needs your body will slow down your metabolism, thwarting your efforts to lose weight.
And, guess what happens when you start eating more calories again? Your body will hang on to those calories even more tightly, and you gain the original weight back and more! To lose weight, you have to eat! By avoiding these 3 top nutrition mistakes, your efforts to lose that unsightly and unhealthy extra weight (and lose fat) will be greatly enhanced.
