Skipping breakfast
People think that skipping breakfast will help them lose weight because you are eliminating one meal of your day.
But this is a big mess because every meal of the is important and you are just woken up after you slept for at least 8 hours so you’re in need energy to work the whole day and for that energy you need to have proper breakfast.
It is said that people who have healthy breakfast are more likely to stay healthy and have a good mental and body weight.
No junk food
Junk food contains more calories than healthy food and is not at all healthy, but eliminating junk food will only make you crave it more.
To stop this craving and urge to eat junk food, schedule a cheat day once a week where you can eat whatever you want and then resume your dieting.
Low fat food
Replacing other foods with low fat food can also lead to increase in body weight.
Check the label of food before buying to see the fat percentage instead of just picking up the food with the label low fat.
Less food and more drinks
Everyone has the misconception that other liquid drinks have fewer calories than the food we eat.
However, many drinks contain more fat than the food you eat. So consuming only those types of drinks and less food will increase your weight rather than decrease it.
No eating after 8 p.m.
This myth is very popular among people who believe that eating after 8 p.m. makes them fatter.
However, food is food. There is no specific time for eating any food, and if you consume the food at any time of day, the calorie remains constant; the calorie does not increase or decrease with time.
Conclusion
Dieting is a good way to decrease your weight and maintain a healthy body but you have to do proper dieting that is prescribed by dieticians according to your body type and weight.
