Society dictates that we all need to fit a certain dress size, carry no excess weight, look like a supermodel and never age. Whilst, in reality, this is totally unachievable no matter how hard we try.
Why can’t you shed that excess weight?
You may have unintentionally been hijacking your own weight loss program by limiting yourself in one way or another, here are five areas you may want to consider relooking in order to give your program a boost.
Weight loss mistakes
1. Your workout consists only of cardio.
If you live for high energy exercise such as running but you never lift a weight or do any form of resistance training, then you’re missing out on one of the most important pieces of the fitness puzzle.
Not only does weight lifting prevent injury by strengthening the joints, but it also builds muscle mass and increases metabolic rate which means that it ultimately burns more calories.
2. You exercise on an empty stomach
If you regularly exercise without eating first, here is why you should reconsider not doing this.
Studies have shown that when you work out on an empty stomach, the calories which are burned come from muscle and not fat, which is exactly what you do not want!
Since muscle burns more calories than fat, the more muscle mass you have, the better it is for weight loss. Munching before you exercise your body will help you avoid losing muscle and give you more energy to push yourself through your workout.
3. Cutting out entire food groups.
Giving up entire food groups can lead to a nutritional deficiency, it is not natural and is very soon bound to trigger cravings for whatever food has been cut.
Rather than eliminating entire food groups focus on healthy options in the same food group and remember portion control is of the utmost importance.
If you are still struggling consider visiting a health care practitioner who can assist you in formulating a healthy diet, supplementation and give you much needed moral support.
Could it be your genes?
