Eat only protein to lose weight? Don't make these 8 wrong habits

Female celebrities will do anything to lose weight. Recently, celebrity Xiao Xiaoyu revealed that she swallows 36 diet pills every day, which is really scary! Some people only eat protein, or replace breakfast with juice, or maintain a monotonous exercise routine. American clinical nutrition experts remind that people who want to lose weight may make the same wrong weight loss habits that most people have made, which will lead to weight loss stagnation.

Dieters may develop the wrong weight loss habits, which may lead to weight loss stagnation or even weight loss failure.

The American health information website "Health.com" compiled the opinions of experts and scholars and pointed out that many wrong concepts and habits are the main reasons for weight loss failure. In addition to paying attention to diet, bad exercise habits can also prevent people from losing weight. Experts suggest that you should frequently change the frequency and intensity of exercise and do appropriate weight training to increase your metabolic rate in order to lose weight efficiently.

【Avoid 8 wrong habits to lose weight successfully】

Mistake 1: Steady exercise habits:

Felicia Stoler, a nutritionist and doctor of clinical nutrition in the United States, pointed out that people who want to lose weight cannot stick to the same exercise routine and expect to always have the same results. She recommends changing the frequency and intensity of exercise from time to time.

Mistake 2: Ignoring Weight Training

Nutritionist Felicia Stoller pointed out that many women who are just starting to lose weight often think that as long as they work hard on cardiopulmonary exercise, they ignore the appropriate amount of weight training. People who are trying to lose weight need to do a little weight training to help increase their metabolism.

Mistake 3: Compensation after exercise:

Many people tend to overcompensate after exercise, thinking they can eat more after exercising. A recent study published in Marketing Letters showed that people who considered walking a mile (1.6 kilometers) to be exercise ate nearly twice as much food as those who viewed walking a mile as a fun activity.

Doing a 10-minute cardio workout following a YouTube video can also help you maintain your exercise frequency.

Mistake 4: Ignoring the time you can exercise:

Stop complaining about not having time to exercise. Sometimes when you're busy at work, it's not easy to find a full half hour to exercise. But nutritionist Felicia Stoller says even a 10-minute cardio workout following a YouTube video can help maintain your exercise frequency.

Mistake 5: Giving up exercise because you are too tired:

The number one excuse many people give for not exercising is, "I'm too tired." Holly Wyatt, associate professor of metabolism and endocrinology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, suggests telling yourself a white lie and telling yourself you're only going to take a 10-minute walk. You'll unknowingly walk longer because exercise makes you energized.

Mistake 6: Too much protein intake:

Nutritionist Felicia Stoller points out that it is important to consume protein when losing weight, but if you eat too much, the excess protein will turn into fat storage. In addition, high-protein milkshakes and protein bars usually contain added sugar and fat and should not be consumed in excess.

Mistake 7: Replacing breakfast with juice:

Louis Aronne, an American physician and well-known weight loss expert, pointed out that most fruit juices will increase blood sugar and cause the body to produce more insulin, so you will feel hungry soon after drinking the juice and eat more instead. It is recommended to consume an appropriate amount of protein and fiber for breakfast, such as eggs and whole wheat toast.

Mistake 8: Lack of sleep can lead to overeating:

Pamela Peeke, associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and an expert in women's nutrition and health, said that appetite and hunger hormones are affected by the amount of sleep. When you lack sleep, you may unknowingly eat a lot of things that you shouldn't eat when losing weight.
