Why is losing weight difficult, many ask? Exactly what is so mysterious about our body that if we eat one thing we gain weight and if we eat another we lose weight?

The fact that everyone can now have their say on diets. If we had really had an advantage from all these diets by now we would be bread sticks. The reason why losing weight is difficult for most people is explained by dr. Hyman .

Most people, says the doctor, make 5 gross mistakes.

Why it is difficult to lose weight: the 5 common mistakes.

1. The focus is on willpower rather than understanding how to eat.

   A crash diet often makes us eat little without resolving the appetite problem, and slows our metabolism further. When we stop the diet, the body regains pounds of fat and the sacrifices are worth nothing. Instead, to lose weight you should understand what to eat. Hyman recommends protein for breakfast, balanced meals in vegetables, fruits, proteins and small amounts of carbohydrates.
   At the end of the article we will see some of his menus.

2. We fixate on calories.
   

   Hyman cites studies where focusing on calories doesn’t make sense .
   It is true that one hundred calories of coke and one hundred of cabbage are always one hundred calories, but the problem is how our body reacts to certain foods.
   In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to insulin peaks and eat low glycemic index foods such as lean fish proteins, white meats, tofu, in combination with vegetables. Here is the source of the research he cites.

3. Low fat is eaten.
   

   According to Hyman, eating foods that contain fat (avocados, nuts, extra virgin olive oil, eggs, fatty fish) in a good amount allows the metabolism to burn three hundred more calories a day.

4. Sensitivity to some foods may exist.
   

   Some foods cause us sensitivity or allergies or bloating than others. Hyman in these cases proposes to exclude some foods and see how it goes. In particular industrial foods, which contain many additives or “obesogenic” agents.

5. There is no strategy.
   

   Proper nutrition must be organized, and so must a diet. We do not do our own thing, but by buying the right foods, giving away the things that make us fat, making a targeted shopping.
   In short, it takes a bit of commitment.
