Do You Fall Victim to These Common Dieting Mistakes?
Many people try to eat a healthier diet, either to lose weight or to improve overall health and wellness, only to become discouraged and unmotivated when results are less than stellar. There are “diet” foods, ”health” foods, as well as foods that are sugar and fat-free, so how do you know what products to buy and which ones to avoid? Consumers are bombarded with claims that these “miracle” products are all you need to become the super model you have always dreamed of. People are led to believe that full-fat natural products should be avoided and substituted with chemical-laden fat-free products. I have to break it to you, this is all a bunch of rubbish, mere fabrications of corporate marketing.
Mistake 1-Buying “diet” foods
Mistake 2-Drinking Diet Soda
Soda in any form is not good for you but artificial sweeteners pose additional health risks beyond weight gain. Yes I said it, artificial sweeteners make you GAIN weight!
Mistake 3- Looking for Salvation in a Pill (or shake, or supplement-you get the idea)
While we may want to believe that by taking a pill and expending no additional effort we will be able to magically transform into a perfectly happy, healthy and fit version of ourselves, we hope and we faithfully indulge this fantasy-but to no avail. The real truth is there is no substitute for a whole foods diet that focuses on fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains and engaging in important wellness behaviors.
