Dieting can be difficult, particularly when errors get in the way of results. Most people encounter problems with weight loss because they make errors that may be correctable. Here are five major dieting errors and how to fix them.
Not eating meals?
Many have the misconception that by skipping meals, especially breakfast, they are bound to lose weight. Skipping meals does not lead to weight loss; it can slow your metabolism down and increase hunger, leading to overeating later. Solution to this: Eat balanced meals along the way, focusing on protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Relying on Fad Diets
Fad diets that label you a “failure” if you haven’t shed weight within a week, often lead to nutrient deficits and muscle tissue depletion, along with being difficult to maintain and leading to weight regain. Correction: A sound flexible diet that includes plenty of whole foods, lean protein and complex carbs.

Not drinking water?
Sometimes people can mistake dehydration for hunger and eat unnecessarily. In addition, water is essential for digestion and metabolism. Fix: Drink at least eight glasses of water a day and hydrate prior to meals to decrease overconsumption.
Ignoring Portion Sizes
Even healthy food can cause weight gain when a person overeats—the extra calories in foods such as nuts and avocados or whole grains take effect here. Fix: Use smaller plates, measure portions, when you are full or hungry, and pay attention to hunger signals.
More Protein!
A diet low in protein may lead to muscle degradation and increased cravings. Protein aids satiety and maintain muscle. Solution: Try to incorporate lean protein sources (eggs, chicken, fish, lentils, and dairy) in each of your meals.
Conclusion
Avoiding these common dieting mistakes can make a big difference in your ability to achieve and sustain weight loss. Assess and emphasize balance in food selection, hydration, and mindful eating, for lasting success. Small, consistent changes are very powerful!
