The mistakes when you are on a diet are such and many that in this blog I will have talked about them at least twenty times: this is because, you want to say I go on a diet, but if you mess up and do not exactly follow the chosen regimen the risk is not only of not losing weight, but of stressing and even gaining weight.

Today I’m going to talk about two fundamental and even scientifically proven diet errors .
That is, when people say not to lose weight, two of the most common mistakes are, according to scientists who study human behavior and the impact of the environment in relation to being overweight.

The first of the two dietary errors is strictly alimentary, the second is more aptitude.

The first is absolutely simple: people go on a diet, they are convinced they are following a low-calorie diet with precision, but in truth they tend to take in more calories than they should.
How it happens? The reasons are different.

1. You do not weigh the ingredients of the preparations with care or the food. After a few days struggling with the scales, there are those who give up and go to the eye. Clearly you risk eating more, and getting to 200 calories more without realizing it.
2. You taste it here and there: you start by absentmindedly “cleaning” your child’s plate, or the saucepan from the sauce, or the spoonful of Nutella. Maybe they are very small samples, especially when cooking. For each of these you think: you want these 2 or 3 calories to be. But the same gesture is repeated at least 20 times a day without us even noticing it. And each taste doesn’t give us two calories, but at least ten times as much. Do some maths.
3. Yes, you are a secret eater: the secret eater is the one who swears that he has followed the recommendations to the letter, but lies. He lies not out of will, but because sometimes he casually puts something in his mouth that he shouldn’t, and that on a rational level he doesn’t always register. Sometimes it happens at night, others while watching something on TV, or at work.
4. The cheats are underestimated: I am not in favor of the free meal, because I have noticed both on my skin and following others that most of the time people do not know how to regulate their day or meal of freedom. The risk of bingeing and having a stressful effect due to remorse of conscience is called “last meal syndrome.” Shortly before returning to a diet, for example on a Sunday, rather than eating normally, up to an hour before the midnight that will bring us back to the new day of the slimming plan, we binge. As if we haven’t seen food in years.
   A day off turns into a cousin’s wedding. You can also take in two thousand more calories, and this obviously affects the caloric deficit we have achieved during the week. 

   Same thing if we go out: the dishes out are always more caloric than how we would cook them. And there are no precise criteria for assessing how much. The second of the two most common diet mistakes concerns physical activity, so I give you a piece of advice: throw away the pedometer.

   Do not consider the calories consumed if you want to lose weight, use apps only to monitor those introduced with food . There are people who think they have burned up to two thousand calories in a walk because of the app, but the app is set on an average, not on your metabolism.
   If you calibrate your diet based on how much you consume, you are wrong.
