Learning what works and what doesn’t work when losing weight can be more complicated than a calculus test. The reason this happens is because there is too much unsound information floating around.
Now, this sad state of affairs is the direct result of one factor: profit. There is a large amount of profit to be made in this industry and the swindlers are ready to come right in to take advantage.
So, without further ado, here are 5 mistakes women make with their nutrition when losing weight:
1. Training on an empty stomach: For the fastest weight loss you need to train with the highest level of intensity. And the only to do this is by having some fuel in your body before training. Even better, not training on an empty stomach will have you burning more fat.
2. Not refueling right after exercise: Eating right after exercise is extremely important. You see, if you don’t eat right after working out, you will not be able to recover as quickly as possible. And rapid recovery is key for being able to exercise more frequently.
3. Supplanting whole food with supplements: A balanced meal with always be much healthier for you than a protein bar or a meal replacement shake. In fact, the term meal replacement is very misleading since a packet of powder can never replace a meal in its nutritional entirety.
4. Trusting everything that’s on a label: Labels can be manipulated to many ends. Even worse, there are many loopholes within FDA regulations that allow food companies to make some extremely deceiving claims. Even worse than that, a lot of the charts and graphs that supplement companies put in advertisements are baked.
5. Using exercise as an excuse to eat everything under the sun: This is more of a psychological issue and it has destroyed the hopes of countless women. Just because you exercise does not mean you can eat everything you want. Keep in mind that a single meal at a restaurant can have the amount of calories you should be eating for the entire day.
There is no perfect way to diet for weight loss. And expect to make many mistakes on your journey. The key here is to not get frustrated and course correct as quickly as possible.
