20 Unhealthy Ways
To Lose Weight
To lose weight we try to follow all kinds of trips and tricks to fasten up
the process of losing weight we use supplements, we use fad diets and
skipping meals and many more. We forget the weight which we have
pilled on over the years so how can we shed in within a few weeks and
months.
Weight loss should be done in a healthy way so it can last for more time
even if you lose track for some time. When we starve ourself or
exercise for long periods we may achieve a certain amount of weight
loss for a short time but we come back to the normal self we end up
gaining more weight then the previous time.
2. Juice only diet- Sometimes people leave solid meals for a juice-only
diet. These diets are not a long term solution you can try it for 1 or 2
days. Living on liquid food is not enough as your brain sometimes not
recognise it as food and you are feeling hungry again. While on juice
diet you are leaving behind the nutrition from fibers and skin of the fruit
and vegetables. For initial days you may lose weight but when you get
back to solid food you end up eating more.
3. Fad diets- People want to lose weight fast for that they follow fad
diets or crash diets which make people eat more than their body
requires. they also recommend that you should avoid one two
important nutrients. Initially you may lose weight but following these
makes you unsatisfied and you cannot continue for long period and
leave diet in between.
6. Working out for long hours- People think spending more time in the
gym and doing long workouts will burn more calories but instead, you
should workout smartly as you are working out more your body is
becoming habitual to the workout and over the period of time when
you will plateau to break it you need to work out for more time.
7. Not having a cheat meal- Cheat meal is an essential meal for the
overall journey of weight loss. You need to reward your body with the
food of your choice once a week as you have managed to diet for the
whole week. Your body functions differently after having a cheat meal
as you have more energy for the next workout. Many studies show
letting out your diet for one or twice fasten up your process of losing
weight.
8. Following a strict diet- A strict and rigid diet may give good results
but it not possible for many to follow a rigid diet for a long duration. You
get bored out of eating the same kind of food every time and you are
not a competing bodybuilder who has to be so rigid on food. You should
be a little flexible in your diet as losing weight is not a short journey you
have to bring lifelong changes in yourself.
9. Doing only cardio- People start with cardio in there journey of
weight loss and get so much induced in doing only cardio in the gym
you also need to do resistance training it helps more than cardio in
weight loss.
10. Ordering food from healthy food joints- People think to order their
meal from a joint who is saying they are preparing healthy food. As
most of the salad they make have lots of dressing on them all these
dressing has lots of calories. It is better to prepare a meal at home.
11. Post-workout Meal- People think they can eat anything if they had
a good long workout. By working out more you become hungry and
want ho eat a heavy meal. You should think twice before having a
calorie-dense meal after a workout. people overestimate the number of
calories they burned during their workout and underestimate the
calories in their meal. Remember, you still need a calorie deficit to lose
weight.
12. Calorie Counting- Yes, a calorie deficit is the only way to lose
weight. But you should be too strict on eating within your calorie limit.
You should have some days where you should not count calories in
food.
13. People leave fruits- People should eat seasonal fruits and
vegetables as they have way more than essentials nutrients other than
sugar. You should avoid processed sugar but not fruits.
14. eating only egg whites- trainers who do not have enough
knowledge about nutrition tells their students that they should only eat
egg white and avoid yellow part as they are fat. Your yellow part has
43% of the protein of the whole eggs and it has good healthy fat in it
which helps in losing weight.
15. Eating Gluten Free- People do not have enough knowledge they
tend to go with the flow one trend which is going on these days is
eating gluten free bread and muffins. But people who should be
avoiding gluten are who are gluten tolerant. Gluten-free bread is more
calorie-dense than simple white bread so its better to use regular white
bread for your sandwiches.
16. Not leaving alcohol- When it comes to happy hour, red wine may be
your best bet. Unfortunately, just like with other alcohol, it’s relatively
easy to go overboard and pour with a heavy hand, racking up calories
quickly. You have to make sure you are drinking in limits.
17. Stopped snacking- With weight loss, snacking isn’t the issue…it’s
the type of snack. Snacking can help maintain energy levels between
meals and is part of a balanced diet. Fruits and veggies make the best
snacks, but high-fat, high-carb, high-salt alternatives—like cookies,
crackers.
18. Going Vegan will help you lose weight-Although eating a balanced
vegan diet can result in weight loss, a vegan diet can also be unhealthy.
Remember that there are loads of vegan junk foods, such as chips,
candies, and chocolate.
19. Replacing your whole food with supplements- You tend to replace
whole food meals with supplements. Having a high-quality protein
shake for breakfast or lunch can help you control your calories and lose
weight. But only if your other meals consist of real foods like lean
protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. If the only things you
consume all day are shakes, that’s a recipe for deprivation.
20. Eating less then 1200 calories- Can you lose weight by not eating?
Technically yes, but it’s an unhealthy way to lose weight. Cutting
calories may be the key to losing weight, but if you overdo it, your
waistline won’t budge. “When you’re not eating enough calories, your
metabolism can slow down, you don’t have enough energy for
workouts, and you’re more likely to binge eat”.
