4 mistakes that make the more you diet, the more you gain weight

Not drinking enough water, lacking nutrients, choosing the wrong foods... are common mistakes that cause weight loss failure in dieting.

Not drinking enough water

If you do not drink enough water, your metabolism will slow down, making it difficult for your body to eliminate toxins and burn fat.

You should add it to your diet by drinking enough water and healthy drinks throughout the day. However, it should be noted that drinking enough does not mean drinking too much. Drinking too much water, 3 liters or more per day, can overload the kidneys and affect health.

Hungry

Avoiding consuming too many calories is necessary to lose weight but you should not force yourself to fast. This is a mistake that causes you to gain weight while dieting.

Because this condition only leads to a strong feeling of anxiety and makes you eat more afterwards. Fasting can also cause fatigue and weakness by making your brain feel like it lacks energy. Instead, you can learn how to choose healthy foods to reduce hunger without ruining your diet.

Choose healthy salads

Many people often associate salad with a healthy, light and low-calorie dish. But this is not always the case. In addition to recipes to help you lose weight, there are also unhealthy salads that are too high in calories.

When preparing salads, you should avoid using industrial sauces, sausages or fatty cheese. These and other unhealthy ingredients will turn salads into dishes that hinder your weight loss process.

Limiting nutrition during meals

In any healthy diet, you should avoid sugar, flour, and processed foods. But instead of limiting your own meals, causing nutritional deficiencies, you can replace them with other healthy foods.

A healthy diet should contain "all things in moderation" to meet the basic needs of the body.
