Focusing on the scale prevents weight loss
Certainly, it is important to weigh yourself when you are on a diet to follow the evolution of your weight and set goals. However, beware that this does not turn into an obsession! We tend to focus on the number displayed on the scale when, very often, it is not representative of how we really look! In addition, the weight can undergo variations of 2 to 3 kg depending on various factors such as the degree of hydration, the outside temperature, the type of food ingested, physical activity, etc. Speaking of physical activity, precisely: playing sports regularly leads to fat loss and muscle gain. Result ? The weight remains stable (even increases because the muscle is heavier than the fat) but the silhouette is much firmer!
- When to weigh yourself when dieting? To use the scale wisely, just weigh yourself once a week at the same time and preferably naked.
Does skipping breakfast help you lose weight?
Surely not ! Skipping breakfast is a big mistake! After 8 hours of sleep, the body needs nutrients. If we deprive it of food at this time, the body will draw the energy it needs to function in muscle mass, which is very bad for the metabolism. In fact, you considerably reduce your body’s ability to burn calories.
Can we eat at the restaurant when we are on a diet?
At noon during the lunch break or in the evening with friends, eating out too often can quickly become an enemy for the line! Why is it bad? Eating out most of the time losing control over food intake. Many diets impose a diet that is not compatible with restaurant meals… and even when you don’t follow a slimming diet, it can be difficult to identify enemy foods when you don’t eat at home. ! Obviously, there is no question of forbidding a meal outside and giving up all these moments of conviviality! What hurts the line is when it happens too often.
- The alternative to outdoor dining? Learn to cook ! Without spending hours there, we will thus be aware of what we eat and we will be able to control the intake of salt, sugar and fat.
The number one enemy of weight loss: lack of regularity
Making good resolutions is good, knowing how to stick to them over time is better! If you follow a slimming diet and practice a regular sports activity, you may be tempted to allow yourself a gap, then another and finally too much: skipping gym classes, letting go on a steak and chips, not deviating from aperitif on the terrace … Only regularity promises results, so from now on we make good resolutions and we stick to them!
Are diet pills effective?
Diet pills? A small miracle that many women dream of trying to lose their little extra pounds… End of the myth: of course, pills can be a help in the context of a controlled diet, a kind of booster, but in no case they don’t make you lose weight!
Another defect of these miracle capsules? Many slimming pills can have side effects and present risk for the health.
- The alternative to diet pills? Watch your diet, trust your common sense and, possibly, bet on superfoods!
A sedentary lifestyle prevents weight loss
A too sedentary lifestyle (car trips, office, television and lack of physical activity) can have repercussions on the line. Above all, lasting slimming cannot be achieved without the practicing a regular activity. Trouble finding it? We draw up an honest assessment of our level of physical activity and we try to start from scratch by imagining a suitable program.
