Chill Out, If it's
cold, it's good. Avoid sugary sodas, alcoholic drinks, blended
cocktails and fruit smoothies. Calories add up from sugar, alcohol, fruit and
fats. These liquids don't fill you up or offer nutrients your body really needs
for proper weight control and nutrition. These taste great going down, but leave
you empty.
I'll just have a
salad. Not all salads are created equally.
Don't just assume that swapping a cold salad for a hot heavy meal is the answer.
Watch your salads, avoid cheese, nuts, croutons, and mayo based salad dressing.
These all add extra calories and fat that you will have to work off later.
Crash diets are
okay if it's just a couple of days. Crash diets before that
beach trip even if it's for "just a couple days" can do very serious harm to
your body. Come to Metabolic for safe, supervised weight loss.
It's fruit so it
must be healthy. Too much indulgence in summertime desserts
leads to diet disaster.. Fruit is a slippery slope to sabotaging your diet. Keep
fruit in check.
I'm sweating away
all my fat. Just because you're sweating, doesn't mean your
burning calories. If you're sitting in the sun, sweating and your heart rate
isn't elevated, you're not burning calories. If you're exercising and your heart
rate is elevated you're burning calories. Drink water to replenish. You are not
sweating away your fat, you're sweating your good stuff.
