30 Seconds SummaryTop 8 Dieting Mistakes
- Starting a diet too aggressively can lead to severe side effects and eventual weight regain due to metabolic damage.
- Failure to plan meals and snacks can lead to poor dietary choices, especially during unexpected scenarios like business trips or running out of food at home.
- Weight loss isn't always linear; don't rely solely on the scale as fluctuations are normal due to various factors like water intake and hormonal balance.
- Focusing too much on the scale can be misleading; body recomposition might show progress in physical appearance or how clothes fit even if the scale doesn't budge.
- Excessive dietary restrictions can lead to a challenging diet experience and potential binge eating, undermining mental and physical health.
- Exercising too much, especially in a calorie-depleted state, can lead to injuries and stalls in weight loss progress requiring further calorie cuts.
- Reliance on dietary supplements won't substitute the fundamental need for a calorie-controlled diet and may not be sustainable or healthy.
- Lacking an exit strategy post-dieting can result in regaining weight; planning for a transition to maintenance, like reverse dieting, helps in long-term weight management.
