Drinking Too Little Water
This is one of the simplest diet blunders to fix.
Water is essential for burning calories. If you let yourself get dehydrated,
your metabolism drags, and that means slower weight loss. Research suggests
adults who drink eight or more glasses of water per day burn more calories than
those who drink less.
Ditching Dairy
Full-fat milk, cheese, and ice cream are taboo for
many dieters, but ditching dairy foods may be counterproductive. Some research
suggests the body burns more fat when it gets enough Calcium. Calcium
supplements do not appear to yield the same benefits, so dairy may have other
things going for it, too. Stick to nonfat or low-fat dairy options.
Setting Unrealistic Goals
Telling yourself you'll lose 20 pounds your first week
is probably setting yourself up for failure. If you know you won't be able to
do it, you may never start your diet in the first place. A realistic goal is
vital to successful dieting. In general 500g per week can be a doable goal.
Have a great weeek!
