Common Mistakes in Diet Plans

Previously, we told you why self made or free diet plans are not effective at weight loss. There are plenty of mistakes that people make in diet plans. See what's keeping your diet plan from helping you lose weight effectively! 

Fruits Only Diet: The most common mistake people make is eating only fruits in their diet. The fruits provide vitamins and carbohydrates, but there is no protein and fat in your diet. Without protein, your muscles will shrink. So, you will lose weight, but it will be valuable muscle weight, not fat that you lose. Also, removing fat from your diet, will reduce the absorption of nutrients in your digestive system. Besides, lack of healthy fats in your diet, promotes skin wrinkling and other unhealthy side effects

Early Dinner Diet: The other pitfall is eating dinner to early and skipping breakfast. If you eat dinner over 3 hours before you sleep, then sleep for 8-9 hours, then have breakfast 1-2 hours after waking up, that can be a 14 hour gap between meals. With such long gaps in your meals, your body goes into starvation mode, and it starts storing more fat.

Fat Free Diets: Many diets focus on low fat foods. Most low fat foods besides depriving your body of its daily fat requirements, use processed products, that increase carbohydrate content in the processed food product. As a result, your body gets excess carbohydrates and stores them as fat! See why fat free foods can be unhealthy.

Diet Foods Diet: Diets that have a lot of diet foods using sugar substitutes can be very harmful. Many sugar substitutes are being promoted are healthy replacements for sugar in our diets, but with all the chemicals used in production, they can have serious side effects in the long run. See our study of the healthiest sugar substitute.
