Dieting Mistakes

A few of the most common mistakes dieters make:

Misconception of quick weight loss.

Weight loss in itself is about the best motivation that one can find for weight loss, so when weight comes off swiftly - the dieter is super motivated.  What can be considered as quick weight loss? About 2 pounds per week.

Unfortunately, although most dieters drop two or more pounds per week, many expect much better results from their diet plan.

The most successful dieter is the realistic dieter who understands that losing weight is going to take time and patience. Expecting too much from a diet plan is a formula for weight loss disappointment rather than weight loss success.

No diet plan.

A diet without a diet plan is like taking a trip without a map.

No backup diet plan.

A diet without a diet backup plan is like taking a trip without a spare tire.

Incorrect calorie allotment.

Too few calories slows down the metabolism as well as energy levels.  Too many calories slows down weight loss.  How to Determine Calorie Needs

And these are just a few examples why dieting isn't a piece of cake.
