The list of our good intentions is long: During the diet, there are no sweets, we go every day for sports, eat nutritious foods, cook always fresh, not snacken all day …

What happens: On or before the third day we bend one. So many resolutions we can not implement all at once! If things go really bad, we’ll throw the diet out completely.

Better: Small superior goals we can also implement! Since we rarely make just one week diet, you can also change gradually things. In week one screw on the diet, in two weeks what change in sport behavior and so on.

2. Eat too little

In the morning just a little fruit, steamed vegetables for lunch and dinner a broth: It has wonderful little calories. Still is not a good idea if you want to hold the diet for more than two days in a row.

What happens: We are constantly hungry, sooner or later uses the cravings and we eat huge amounts. That being said, we are not supplied with sufficient nutrients and the yo-yo effect continues after a diet.

Better: We are well fed and happy, at least 1,200 kcal should be eaten on the day.

Daily sport, only make one hour endurance, then push it past a device unit, so that muscles are built. The fact is: you can also overdo it with the sport!

Better: Do not overdo it, but start slowly. 30 minutes endurance with a slow tempo and rich. And one day break should always be adhered to so that the body can recover.

All get an ice cream at noon – but you yourself omitted because it does not fit to the diet. The same applies for the cocktail evening was leaving with friends or dinner invitation. Of course, who wants to lose weight must not accept any offers but reject all, is also wrong.

What happens: Who ever denies everything, will eventually totally frustrated and loses the fun in life. Apart from the fact that the cravings just waiting – always ready to get to have your say.

Better: yourself carefully consider how much you would just ice cream or cocktail. Can we do without it, you should just do that too. Is the appetite very large, you should allow yourself a small portion – but it also left.
