While this may seem like a difficult task, here is some advice from nutritionist Lovneet Batra who lists down what exactly needs to be done. Take a look!<\/p>\n<p>According to Batra, it\u2019s important to keep a log of what one\u2019s diet on a daily basis that helps identify key issues in one\u2019s routine. \u201cIt helps you understand how much you\u2019ve eaten, what your\u00a0<strong>calorie intake<\/strong>\u00a0is and what the gap between your meals is. Through this analysis you are able to make an accurate assessment of your progress and can make changes accordingly for better results,\u201d she said in the Instagram post.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mymedicplus.com\/blog\/here-are-some-common-mistakes-that-are-hindering-your-weight-loss-plans\/#Here_is_what_she_suggests_that_we_avoid\" >Here is what she suggests that we avoid<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mymedicplus.com\/blog\/here-are-some-common-mistakes-that-are-hindering-your-weight-loss-plans\/#Heres_why_these_pointers_matter\" >Here\u2019s why these pointers matter<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_is_what_she_suggests_that_we_avoid\"><\/span>Here is what she suggests that we avoid<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Skipping meals<\/p>\n<p>Not taking enough protein<\/p>\n<p>Not doing strength training<\/p>\n<p>Not maintaining a food journal<\/p>\n<p>Only focusing on the weight scale<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_why_these_pointers_matter\"><\/span>Here\u2019s why these pointers matter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>*There is a reason why skipping meals is not a good idea. Blood sugar decreases when one skips meals, which, in turn, makes people feel irritated and fatigued. It also leads to the production of cortisol that leads to stress. When one skips meals, the metabolism goes for a toss which hinders weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>*If taking a high protein diet enables weight loss, the reverse also stands true. When the diet is low on proteins, the muscles begin to atrophy (waste)\u2013 by taking Lean Body Mass (LBM), strength, and energy with them. This hampers\u00a0<strong>weight loss<\/strong>\u00a0plans. Proteins help to control cravings and a lack of it can increase binge-eating. According to Batra, one should take protein, especially after a workout to repair all the muscle tissue that breaks down during the strenuous workout.<\/p>\n<p>*Not spending time on strength training and focussing only on cardio will only lead you to reach a plateau and your body will not be strong, says Batra.<\/p>\n<p>*Awareness regarding what one is eating and in what portions is necessary for weight loss. A food journal whether in a written or photographic form is quite helpful to track progress.<\/p>\n<p>Batra says that it\u2019s not always a good idea to eye the weighing scale as that leads to only weight gain\/loss-oriented idea of health which is short-term. \u201cBeing obsessed with what you\u2019re weight scale says leads you to look at fitness as a short term goal and that will make the entire process temporary. Being fit, eating healthy is a daily process and you have to be patient about your results,\u201d she advises.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[193,140,1334,767,476],"class_list":["post-4285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-weight-loss-gain","tag-foods","tag-healthy","tag-metabolism","tag-weight-gain","tag-weight-loss"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
