Are trying to lose weight? Do not be too much to hear advice of many people. In fact, not all diets work done by others can succeed on others also. In his book, “Feed Your Family Right!: How to Make Smart Choices’ Food and Fitness for a Healthy Lifestyle,” Elisa Zied says, many women unwittingly sabotage their own diets. Here are some strategies that body weight reduction could be a boomerang for the culprit.

Only Eat Special Foods Diet
Most women who choose to eat a diet of special foods diet. Even though it contained the same calories with regular food. In a study conducted at Cornell University reported that, when presented with chocolate labeled “regular” and “low fat”, as many as 28 percent of respondents chose chocolate labeled “low fat”. The reason is because the respondents assumed that low fat means low calories.

Suggestion: Read the product label. Rather than choose products labeled “low fat”, better reading and researching the label behind the pack. Find the number of calories in each serving its size and its serving size. Zied says, you still can lose weight and enjoy similar foods that could not be labeled “low fat” as long as you look at the amount you eat.

Skipping meals and snacks multiply
Apparently, within three hours after consuming food at appropriate times of meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) can burn more calories than just snacking at odd hours and irregular hours of eating a big miss.

Suggestion: Set the schedule. Start with the journal food intake to determine how much food you should eat in a day, and sticking to that schedule. Every person is different. “It is not a good thing to feel hungry, but not a bad thing to feel a little hungry.”

Reduce the calories for a week, for a big event on the weekend
Doing this will only slow down your metabolism, the results of which would decrease the ability to reduce body weight, said George L. Blackburn, MD, Ph.D., author of “Break Through Your Set Point: How to Finally Lose the Weight You Want and Keep It Off.” When you do this repeatedly, the body will enter conservation mode, causing the body to hard to lose weight too fast.

Advice: Planning. Reduction of body weight is slowly but stable, make sure you lose weight fat, not muscle weight. Thus, the target to reduce about one pound per week. The trick, subtract about 250 calories of food intake and your daily burn 250 extra calories through exercise each day.

Short-term Diet
Only about 20 percent of people who successfully maintain weight on a diet for more than a year. Because, after reaching a goal, or numbers that are targeted, we are back to normal eating patterns.

Suggestions: Make lifestyle changes. Create a habit in the long term by making small changes that you can watch. Find out problem areas in your diet one by one. If you have a habit of snacking on cookies every night, make a goal to only eat two, not six pieces, then cut one piece per day. When you successfully do this, go to your next goal.
