Why Diets Don't Work

If another super diet is in front of you and you are excited to start it, expecting an instant result - stop! Do not rush to rejoice and observe it!

According to nutritionists, if you lose more than 5 kg of weight per week, then there can be no question of a healthy diet. As a result, you will gain muscle exhaustion and helplessness in addition to losing pounds and inches. By the way, often diets based on healthy eating and which do not harm the body also do not work. This is because most people do not follow them properly. According to some experts, most of those who go on a diet, to one degree or another make standard mistakes that prevent them from achieving the desired result. They distinguish several main ones that prevent weight loss:

Improper sleep pattern

If a person goes to bed after 10 o'clock in the evening and chronic insomnia is observed, his adrenal regeneration worsens and the liver becomes additionally toxic. This in turn leads to slow metabolism and weight gain.

Extremely low calorie intake

Of course, diets involve the consumption of less daily food, but if you eat too little, in response, the body will not burn fat, and vice versa - will accumulate them to have a supply of energy. This happens if your daily calorie intake is less than 1200.

Insufficient water intake

If you do not drink the required amount of water, it significantly reduces the process of metabolism (water is actively involved in it) and, accordingly, burns fat more slowly. Calculating the amount of water per day you need is not complicated at all: just multiply your weight by 0.15. This way you will get the number of glasses of clean water to drink per day.

Exercise does not have the required duration

Exercise is important in the fight against excess weight, but it has been found that the loss of fat begins only after the 26th minute of their onset. So with short-term exercise, you just keep your weight off. Accordingly, you should set aside at least 30-40 minutes a day for sports.

Insufficient amount of protein

If you eat less protein than you need for your body, it will significantly slow down the process of fat processing. For every kilogram of body weight you should take about 4 grams of protein every day.

Too few fruits and vegetables

If you follow a diet, know that you should eat a few fresh fruits and vegetables daily (the latter can be steamed). This will help the body to stabilize insulin levels and burn fat.

Improper weight loss tracking

You don't have to climb on the scales every day to mark with horror that you have lost as much as 5 grams. Here are the indicators you need: body mass index, fat percentage, waist to hip ratio and calorie intake.

When you report the results after a month, for example, you will be pleasantly surprised by the quick positive ones, which even you yourself have not felt how you have achieved.

Improper nutrition

It is better to eat often, but less (every 2-3 hours), than to divide the standard breakfast, lunch and dinner food. And don't dine later than 7pm.

Lack of planning

Many people do not even guess how many calories they take in per day. And reducing their amount by 500 per day leads to a loss of 1 kg per week. Monitor the food you eat daily and calculate its caloric content.

Try not to make the above mistakes and you will see that the desired results will not be late.
