The desire to lose weight quickly before going on vacation can also bring
along the wrong dieting practices. The main reason is that diets are usually
made with hearsay information. However, since each individual's metabolism is
different, they should follow a more personal diet. For this reason, we have
briefly compiled the most common mistakes made in diet.
Staying Hungry
for a Long Time
One of the most common mistakes made in order to lose weight is to stay
hungry for a long time. Because the metabolism, which takes action after meals,
spends a certain amount of energy in order to digest food. However, metabolism
slows down when not fed at all or when the nutritional meal is severely
limited. This has the opposite effect and slows down the person's weight loss.
Removing
Bread from the Diet Plan
In general, excessive consumption of bread and carbohydrate-containing
foods is not recommended in diets. However, completely removing bread from the
diet instead of restricting it can have more negative results. For this reason,
it would be better to reduce bread consumption instead of completely removing
it from your diet and to consume other carbohydrates instead of bread
occasionally. Because insufficient carbohydrates can lead to the risk of muscle
loss.
Drinking
Less Water to Avoid Edema
Consumption of required amount of water prevents edema formation in the
body. Inadequate consumption of water, which is necessary for the functioning
of digestive enzymes, can slow down both the digestive system and metabolism. Daily
water intake is less than necessary as well as excessive consumption of tea or
coffee leaves the body dehydrated, slows down the metabolism and causes
bloating, which is known as, edema.
Not
Eating Fruits Because of Sugar
It is a fact that fruits contain a lot of sugar. However, consuming it by
controlling your portions provides carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals that are
required on a daily basis. Since the amount of antioxidants of the fruits is
high, it accelerates the metabolism and provides protection against diseases.
Consuming fruits that do not cause problems when consumed as a snack late at
night can cause weight gain.
Trying
to Lose Weight by Eating Only Vegetables and Fruits
Diets that are continued without consuming enough animal protein cause
the hormone and enzymes in protein structure such as insulin not to be produced
enough or not to work. Vegetable protein from vegetables and fruits and protein
from animal foods cannot benefit the body in the same way. For this reason,
diets should be implemented by consuming other food groups with a diet plan
rich in vegetables and fruits.
Eating
Uniform to Lose Weight Quickly
As inconvenient as it is to try to lose weight by consuming only
vegetables and fruits, a protein-based diet is also a faulty diet. All of the one
type of diets can cause vitamin, mineral and muscle loss in some way. Excessive
protein intake leaves acid residues in the body and can lead to calcium withdrawal
from the bones, overloads the kidneys, and deteriorates the intestinal flora.
Frequent
Consumption of Light Products to Prevent Weight Gain
As with all foods consumed, light products also have a certain number of
calories. Although the calories of light products are less than other foods,
consuming them without paying attention to the amount can make you gain weight.
It should not be forgotten that consuming wholemeal bread instead of white
bread ensures carbohydrate intake.
Overcomsumption
of Lemon to Burning Fat
It is worthy of noting that no food alone provides fat burning.
Consumption of vinegar or lemon juice alone cannot provide fat burning. It is
true that consumption of water with lemon juice or vinegar have a high alkaline
value and speed up the metabolism a little bit. However, prolonged consumption
of lemon or vinegar water, which is easier to drink aromatically, can cause
stomach problems.
No Fat
or Oil in Meals
Most of the cell membrane and hormones are made up of fat. In order for
cells and thus the body functions to function properly, quality fats must be
present in the diet. Eating fat-free meals and not consuming enough fat is one
of the reasons that slows down metabolism and makes it difficult to lose
weight.
Consuming salads without oil reduces the intake of vitamins and minerals
while dieting, as it will prevent the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D,
E, K). Oily seeds such as walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds should be consumed in
order to obtain the essential oils for the body. However, it is known that if
fats are consumed as needed, it also extends the period when the person feels
full.
