Your Portions are Too Large
Weigh and measure to avoid overeating. Even if you are eating healthy, portions still matter.
Know What You are Eating
Low fat doesn't always mean low calorie. Some low fat foods add extra sugar to improve taste. You should know what your recommended daily allowance is for calories, fats, salt and sugars. Pay attention to nutrition labels.
When You Feel Like Giving Up
You have a reset button at any time. Just because you mess up, doesn't mean the rest of the day or week needs to be bad. Don't let guilt weigh you down...literally!
You are not Exercising Enough
You should exercise five days a week for 30 minutes a day for weight loss. On the contrary, research shows that when people start to watch what they eat, they start exercising less. Make time to move!
Don't Skip Breakfast
Research shows that when you skip breakfast, high calorie foods will follow. You are 43% less likely to become obese if you eat breakfast. Eating three regular meals a day will stabilize your calorie intake.
You Stopped Snacking
Don't avoid snacking, just snack right! Regular, healthy snacking can help keep your energy up. Opt for high protein and fiber; nuts, vegies and hummus are all great choices.
You are not Eating Enough
Don't deprive yourself of meals or cut back on calories too much. This can actually have a reverse effect by slowing down your metabolism and even end up burning muscle for energy. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week.
Don't Skip Vitamins
Vitamins and minerals are essential to keeping your energy levels up and your body functioning properly. Vitamin B, D, Calcium and Iron are important parts of your day.
Don't Use Food as a Reward
When you reach a goal reward yourself with something other than food. Plan your social events around something other than a meal.
Are you Drinking too Many Calories?
Don't forget many of the calories consumed in a day come in liquid form. Opt for more water to be safe.
