Biggest Diet Mistakes

In last 10 years working as a personal trainer and nutritionist in New York City, I saw so many diet mistakes people do.

TOP Diet Mistakes New Yorkers make:

1. New Yorkers try to radically reduce calories, when they start dieting. Also often following wrong diets. Trendy celebrity diets only make celebrities rich.
2. You set too ambitious goals (example 10 lbs in 7 days)
3. You restrict pizza, bagels and other "comfort foods" so much, that you crave it all the time. What happens? The strict prohibition increases the demand for the "favourite meal" and you will most likely end up eating it anyway.
4. New Yorkers skip breakfast. Too busy to eat breakfast. Rushing to work. No time for it.
5. You eat too little protein and too many carbs.
6. New Yorkers have no time to eat. They end up eating from fast food places or from "fast food healthy places". Be careful some restaurants will hide behind healthy restaurant image, but in the fact they are a simple fast food restaurant. You know what I mean. For God's Sake, take 10 minutes of your time and eat like a real man. Often people eat in standing, while they work, over computer.
7. New Yorkers are thinking that salad places are good choices for a healthy meal. Think again! You heard probably: " I eat only salad and I am not losing weight. What's wrong?"
8. You do not drink enough water. Diet soda, vitamin water and other bottled drinks rule your world.
9. Too much drinking alcohol. Happy hours after works make you social and fat.
10. Too many unhealthy snacks at home and in the office. Your boss will often buy you bagels, sweets and other junk food to keep employees happy.
11. Too many parties with so much food. You end up eating unhealthy because you did not have time to eat before the party.
12. Eating too much in restaurants and believing that healthy menu is really healthy. Do not believe so much in their healthy menus.
If you want to check how healthy their menu is look at the chef in the kitchen. He probably invented the menu. Who else?
13. Because you missed once on diet, you stop doing it. You end up giving up so easy. No endurance.
14. Shopping at supermarket without clue what to buy. If it looks healthy and sounds healthy, you will end up buying it. I see many ladies buying those sugary diet bars thinking that is a good choice because there is a photo of a fit women on the bar or it is written on it BALANCE or ENERGY or FIT, so you think it is balanced and will make you fit. Yeah they have cool commercials in TV for those bars. But that's about it. Think again before you buy those bars.
15. Ordering in all the time from "healthy" restaurants.
16. Emotional eating. Your boss stressed you out, so you end up eating something bad. Most likely the junk food he bought it and it is stacked in the office kitchen. Think about Girl Scout Cookies?
17. No motivation to eat healthy. You end up giving up.
18. New Yorkers work a lot. Not so much time for working out or cardio. Many New Yorkers have a gym membership, but they never manage to find a time for the gym.
19. Eating fat free products and sugar free products.
20. Too tired. You eat bad, you do not move, you work too much and you end up in bed sleeping longer. This is a recipe for disaster.

Well guys now you have it, I hope this list will help you to find your diet mistakes. Try to correct mistakes you do it daily. Sometimes we are not aware of things we are doing. We are just doing them, but now let's do them right.

If you do more than 3 things from this list above, you will probably end up beeing overweight very soon.
