The best way to lose weight is slowly and through the healthy way. This way, you are not putting your health at risk and you are pushing yourself towards a healthier lifestyle.

So as not to be misguided and not to waste your efforts, here are some common mistakes you should know and avoid:

  • You are eating salad but you’ve been putting too much dressing. Drizzling dressing and sauces too much also add calories to your supposed healthy and low carb meal.
  • You eat meat everyday. Try to consume lesser amount of this and eat plant-based meals as much as possible.
  • Stop eating your meal like breakfast and lunch at your work area.
  • Little bites of chips, sweets, or a little butter to your food adds to your calorie intake, thus, preventing weight loss.
  • You stand while you eat. You have to be aware that a person impulsively eats when standing. Try to sit in a proper table and eat your plated meal.
  • Products that are labeled ‘fat-free,’ ‘gluten-free,’ or ‘sugar-free’ are sometimes misleading. Read what is in your food. Checking the actual ingredients is fundamental for health and weight loss purposes.
  • Avoid using plates, bowl, glasses, and utensils that are too big.
  • Calories cannot only be found in your food but also in your drink. Be mindful of this.
  • Don’t skip meals. Thinking that skipping can easily make you eat less is a wrong mindset because you tend to eat more later on.

Depriving yourself of some treats, eating even when not hungry, artificial sweeteners, cheeses, being addicted to sugary, fatty, and processed foods, less sleep, not enough fruits and vegetables, and many other factors hamper your progress to lose weight as per an article from Eat This.

Try to be more mindful of your habits, the food you eat, and the portions you consume. Healthy eating with an active lifestyle can definitely help you achieve your goal.
