1. Here’s an eye-opening statement: one of the biggest predictor of weight GAIN is going on a diet.
2. You follow a diet plan, which eliminates your favorite foods.
3. You don’t acknowledge that other lifestyle factors influence your body weight, like sleep (and stress). It’s not just about the food.
4. Your diet approach is centered around deprivation. Think about what healthy foods you can ADD in instead of DEPRIVE yourself…
5. You overestimate calories burned in exercise or fall into one of these exercise-related pitfalls:

Content: Making one poor choice will not ruin your entire effort. For example, if you eat a burrito for lunch, that doesn’t mean that you have ruined all of your choices for the rest of the day. Stay strong and make smart decisions for the rest of your selections! Your goal should be to make good choices, not flawless ones. Do not set to lose an unreasonable amount of weight in a short period of time. This will only end up frustrating you if you do not see results within the timeframe of your tight schedule. Binge eating
Diets deprive us of certain nutrients, therefore we end up binge eating. Changing eating habits can cause headaches, fatigue, mental fog, confusion, and irritability. Many of this is caused by not eating enough calories or carbohydrates. It can also cause you to go crazy and binge eat when you allow yourself food.
