5 Ernährungsfallen – FitNFemale®

Slimming and Fat burning is a great challenge for many athletes. If you want to achieve sustainable success with a diet, then you need a lot of patience and discipline in particular. A flood of information from many diet and fitness magazines is often the culprit that causes you to completely deviate from your original approach and keep trying new methods to lose weight. If you still can't see success despite high intensity in your workouts and a strict diet program, then you've fallen into the so-called diet trap. Below we have listed five mistakes you can make when losing weight and the corresponding tips on how to avoid these traps in the future.

Trap 1: Lose weight as quickly as possible

If you want to lose body weight with a certain method (diet), then it is almost always assumed that you need to reach a certain goal (- 5 kilograms) in a certain time (3 months). In today's world we want everything as fast as possible with the greatest success. No matter if you set yourself a 30 or 90 day goal, you will not have lasting success with pressure and unrealistic goals.

Solution: Change your lifestyle!
If you've been using bad habits for years, you can't change everything instantly overnight. The key to success is a slow start that gradually leads you into a new lifestyle. It takes time to learn what is truly healthy for you and makes you feel satisfied. Small steps such as coffee without sugar or drinking fat-free milk can lead to the desired success in the long run.

Trap 2: Falling for supermarket advertising!

Clever marketing experts today ensure that the customer is suggested what is healthy and what is not healthy. For example, supermarkets advertise with the distinctive words and terms gluten-free, fat-free, low-fat, light or "without sugar". All that really matters to you is that you know that these terms don't mean calorie-free. Even fat-free or low-fat products contain calories and are therefore not necessarily suitable for losing weight.

Solution: Consume more calories than you take in!
If you want to lose weight sustainably, the simple rule of success applies: Your daily calorie consumption must be lower than your daily calorie consumption!

Trap 3: Breakfast is left out!

Many people who want to lose weight often give up breakfast as a meal. They believe that fasting in the morning increases fat burning and is good for the diet. However, forgoing breakfast results in feeling more powerless, as an important source of energy for the day is missing. Most often, the hunger pangs come from the lack of a meal in the evening, which then leads to the fact that you then really hit the dinner and eat a lot.

Solution: The meal in the morning brings success
Many people do not know that you need straight calories to boost fat burning. Especially on an intense training day, breakfast is one of the most important meals. If you can't get anything down in the morning, try having a protein shake with a banana as your meal. Oatmeal is also a good alternative for an energy-rich meal.

Pitfall 4: Fat is dispensed with altogether!

Forget the thesis that the nutrient fat actually makes you fat. Almost all reputable magazines inform you that the only thing that matters is which fats should be taken. Animal fats should rather be avoided, while vegetable fats such as olive oil can be used as healthy fats in meals.

Solution: Eat the right fats
It is important for you that your daily calorie consumption should consist of around 20 percent healthy fatty acids. Healthy fats are, for example, certain vegetable oils or nuts or avocados. You can get the exact details about healthy fats from an app, for example, which lists exactly which foods or fats are healthy.

Trap 5: Do not recognize hidden sugar

In this day and age, chemists in laboratories can produce just about any flavor without any problem. Especially in the so-called diet drinks or caffeinated stimulant drinks, there are many "artificial sugars" that make you even more thirsty. These drinks also contain a lot of calories, so they are actually completely unsuitable for a diet.

Solution: Avoid all so-called "diet" products
Forget all low-calorie or so-called light drinks. These drinks are made by the beverage industry specifically for a certain target group, but they don't help you lose weight. If you really want to resort to drinks without calories, then drink green tea or just mineral water. You can't go wrong with these drinks in your diet.
