Wrong Diet Method: Seven Common Mistakes About Diet & Nutrition

Friday 18 November 2011 Labels: ,

Here are the seven common mistakes about diet & nutrition diet that would make you fail.
Did not consume any fatExperts agree that low-fat diet is a great way to scrape off excess weight. But, a research recently showed that eating a little healthy fat (especially monounsaturated fats), which combined with a diet high in fiber and protein, can help you lose weight. In this way, as it says Penny Kris Etherton, Ph.D., RD, nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, will make you feel full longer. You were much more determined to keep running weight loss program.


Too many 'ban'Many women stop their favorite foods. The reason is because there are several types of diets say all food is dangerous and can make their bodies 'bubble'. "You can not see the food partially," said Dayle Hayes, MS, RD, nutrition consultant from Billngs, Mont. "When you get rid of a bunch of foods, then you throw a variety of important nutrients." "Creating a 'list of foods that should not be eaten' style diet is arguably the oldest in the world," adds Robyn Flipse, RD, nutrition consultant. Yet what is important is the way to shop or prepare food for himself and doing regular physical activity. For instance, if you do not drink milk, diary products or eating peanuts, means you lose some of the best sources of protein. If you avoid eating fat-rich fish like salmon, sardines or tuna, then you get rid of sources of omega-3 fatty acids are very important.

You hit 'amnesia'Research shows that many people forget what it has eaten all day long or pretended not to know what is not so visible on his food (such as sauce, sugar or fats are hidden in food). In addition, it is easy to 'forget' the calories that you can pass snacking. But remember, the body never lies. The results will you look at the size of the buttocks, abdomen and thighs are enlarged.
"I once took my friend all day and was so stunned by how easily he forgets what he has to eat," said Ann Litt, MS, RD, LD, a nutritionist and author of The College Student's Guide to Eating Well on Campus (Tulip hill Press, 2000). "Too many small bites and sips if collected can be equal to one full meal if you're not careful," he added.

Diets that do not fit to your lifestyleHaving the desire to eat healthier and lose weight is certainly very good. But, if not handled with a proactive attitude and personal, then the diet with the best goals can lead to failure.
To make it real, try to look at your lifestyle and determine how what would be successful and what is not for you. When you work around where there are no healthy food available, it would not hurt you bring lunch from home. Or try subscribing rantangan diet to get healthy and low calorie foods. Or always order a half portion of food when you eat out.

Being a vegetarian? To be slim?You think not eating meat at all will make you lose body fat? Think again. Because the truth is much better reasons to become vegetarian, and weight loss is not one of them. Why? Many women who get rid of meat do not lose weight because they do not eat meat in large quantities.
In fact, many of the 'vegetarian instant' actually gain weight because they replace the meat with a large serving of noodles, rice, or pie. Though all of these foods contain calories which is almost as large as the meat, do not even contain a protein that makes you more powerful. To become a vegetarian need more than just replacing meat with tofu or always eat vegetables every day. Being a vegetarian is a process that creates patterns which include among others a new shopping and cooking habits.
To change slowly, try to buy the book cooking vegetarian menu. That sounds good if you consult with a dietitian to create meal plans that satisfy your taste buds and simultaneously meet your nutritional needs.

Your weight increased 2-digitIt is easy to gain weight as much as 2 pounds, but also quite easy to cut back. You can scrape the excess weight of 2 kg within a month without making any adjustments that are essential to the calories you consume each day. To remove 1 / 2 pounds, you simply reduce 3500 calories can cut down the amount of calories you consume or by exercising harder to burn more calories. By reducing about 500 calories each day, you can discard 1 / 2 pounds a week, or about 2 pounds in a month.
But, if you increase the weight of 5 kg or more, then you need to make a greater commitment. That will at least take two months, or you have to reduce more calories from food each day and increase your exercise schedule. And obviously this is not a realistic scenario.

To stop the weight gain at first, make a diet diary to track calorie intake and your emotions are associated with food. Then weigh yourself at the same time each week. So suggestions Dwan Jackson, RD, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Better yet if you check your body fat every month. By reviewing your progress regularly and make minor adjustments in diet and your exercise habits, it is certain there will be changes to the numbers on the scale.

There is always a planIt is normal to feel hungry, so rather than deny the 'call of nature' is planned at the moment of your time to iapar you eat on time. Because if not, you tend to lose control and overeat. "You should not travel more than four to five hours without eating first," advises Evelyn Tribole.RD, nutrition consultant in Irvine, California. "Bring your lunch to work, if you do not like the food menu in the cafeteria. Bring also a healthy snack such as fruit, nonfat yogurt, or boiled peanuts you can eat while in a vehicle or in accord-interrupted lunch".
