Big No-No And Must Haves For Someone
Trying To Lose Weight
Losing
weight, is not a rocket science. Basically, one must need to understand their
own body. We just need to get back to our basics and understand the best ideas
which suits our body. But even while on a diet or even while trying to get in
shape we tend to make several blunders that lead to weight-gain.
Here are
some big No-No’s we commonly tend to do while shedding those extra kilos:
1. Skipping
Meals
This is a
very big MYTH that skipping meals will help you loose weight, because if you do
so, you tend to eat excess in the next meal which can eventually lead to
weight-gain.
2. Living
on crazy FAD diets
Also
called as “Magic Power Diet” which will help you loose weight overnight, but
sorry to break your heart, these diet more harm than good to our body, as they
do not contain a well-balanced set of nutrients of which our body is used to
consuming, they will surely show some temporary weight-loss but later you will
experience many problems like weight-gain, vitamin deficiencies, even some
serious health complications if on them for a long period of time.
3. Not
having enough fiber
When it
comes to losing weight, fiber plays a very crucial role, as it helps increase
satiety (feeling full), curb your appetite and eventually help in weight-loss.
4. Having
excess white white-carbs
People
understand having carbohydrates for diet is important but which?? Breads,
pasta, white rice, maida they all contribute to nothing but weight-gain, so its
best if its avoided and replaced with good carbohydrates like brown rice,
quinoa, barley, jowar, bajra, whole wheat flour, multigrain bread etc.
5. Popping
on diet-pills or using meal replacement shakes
Smoothies
and shakes do help you fill full and cut your hunger, but replacing them with
actual meal, is not acceptable because it lacks the vital nutrients needed by
our body. You also lack the fiber which you will get from whole fruits. Also
about the pill – there are no research and claims to back up that they help you
in losing weight or even for that matter fats & also can be harmful for
your body.
6. Not
having adequate protein intake
Studies
show that we Indians especially vegetarians lack adequate protein required for
our daily needs. For weight-loss, we do not need to down-in the protein shakes
to keep muscle. Consuming a well-balanced diet that includes lean protein
should do the bit.
7. Binge
eating on a “Cheat Meal”
It might
seem harmless to binge eat on one meal, it clearly effects your gut-bacteria,
and these foods effect the hormones and becomes addictive, and cause
weight-gain, so “Moderation is the key”.
8. Weighing
yourself Daily
Weighing
yourself daily, which can lead to de-motivation and in-turn eating more because
of stress.
9. Lack
of physical activity
Diet and
workout go hand in hand, not working out on regular basis or not working out at
all will not give you desired results.
