5. Setting too many limitations

One of the most popular pieces of advise for those trying to lose weight is to cut back on portion sizes. It actually works when done properly. However, you should never eat portions that are so small that you feel hungry all the time. First of all, it is clearly harmful. Additionally, when you consume too few calories, your metabolism slows down in an effort to conserve your meager energy, which makes it more difficult for you to lose weight.Another error associated with limits is eliminating all of your favorite “bad” meals. This typically causes intense cravings, which are then frequently satisfied by overeating other foods or, if you restrict yourself for an extended period of time, by indulging in your favorite “forbidden” delights and giving up on your diet completely.Instead, eat reasonable-sized meals that will satisfy you without filling you up. Give yourself permission to indulge occasionally. You may manage your desires while maintaining your diet by having one or two cheat meals a week.
