How many times have you started a diet and not lost weight? If this has happened to you, we're sure you must be frustrated, but that doesn't mean you should give up. You are probably making a mistake in your diet due to some myths or misconceptions about food.
So, to prevent this from happening, we want to tell you about some of the most common mistakes people make when starting a diet. Let's get started!

This is one of the most common mistakes that lead people to quickly abandon the diet. You cannot expect to lose weight in a few days, especially knowing that your current weight is the result of a poor diet for several years. Setting unrealistic goals will only create frustration and little motivation to continue your diet.
Thinking that the diet is temporary
Many people have the idea that you should only eat healthy until you lose weight, this is completely wrong. The goal you should have is to make gradual changes in your diet until you create healthy habits that allow you to stay at your ideal weight. This process takes time, but it is worth it.
Stop eating
It is known that the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume during the day, this is true. However, some people stop having breakfast or stop dinner with the idea that this way they will be able to lose weight. If you do this, your body's metabolism will spiral out of control and you will lose your progress quickly.
Failure to face social pressure
You must learn to say no when someone offers you some food or drink that is not healthy. It is not necessary to stop consuming all the foods you like; you just have to consume them occasionally. Don't let other people interfere with your eating or your goals.
