How to lose weight: five reasons why you don't see the desired result

You try to lose weight, but do not see the desired results? Let's see what you're doing wrong.


#1. You abuse eating healthy food

If you eat only healthy food, this does not mean that you can eat as much as you like. Often healthy food can be quite high in calories and it is not always obvious. Even with smoothies and green drinks should be careful, because if you add almond milk, yogurt and almond oil to cocktails, you will not get a light snack, but a high-calorie bomb.

#2.  Do not think about the content of "secret" sugar

Reducing sugar consumption is the latest squeak of fashion at the moment, and not for nothing. A huge amount of sugar in a standard diet makes us gain weight. Therefore, you should be aware of the total amount of sugar that you consume.

Pay attention to the ingredients of the products that you regularly buy. You will be amazed, because sugar is hidden in tomato sauce, bread, crackers, sauces, hummus, porridges and many other products that can be found in the store.

#3. You prefer skim foods

Healthy fats must be present in our diet. It is necessary for the health of hair, skin, nails and, most importantly, the normal functioning of the brain. In addition, fat makes our food more pleasant to the taste and helps to prolong the feeling of satiety.

And in the products from which fat is removed, for added flavor, add sugar. However, even worse, if instead of natural sugar, the producer adds artificial sweeteners to the product, which have a long list of unpleasant side effects.

So include in your diet more foods rich in healthy fats: avocados, nuts, seeds, salmon, mackerel, sardines, coconut and olive oil.

#4. Mistakenly believe that eating healthy foods 

If you took a product from the shelves for healthy food in a store, this does not mean that it is a healthy diet. The same goes for organic products. Carefully read the label, if in the list of ingredients more than eight points or sugar is mentioned several times in different variations, it is better to put the product back on the shelf.

#5. Do not get enough sleep

Lack of sleep is a weighty argument, why you do not have enough time to cook a healthy breakfast and snacks, and also a good excuse to give up training. In addition, fatigue and lack of sleep force us to give preference to high-calorie foods high in sugar. So, if you want to lose weight, go to bed early, so that your body can rest normally during the night. It will help you feel better and easily make healthy choices.
