There is nothing more frustrating than not seeing results while feeling like you are doing everything right. This often happens when we start a diet and just can't seem to lose weight; there are some details that many are unaware of that can ruin all your efforts. To ensure that this isn't your case and that every diet you embark on yields quick and safe results, today we will share the most common mistakes you didn't know were being made during a diet.

Too much protein

Protein is important in the diet, yes, it builds muscle and fiber, but if you consume it excessively, the body stores it as fat, making it difficult to lose weight.

Too few vegetables

When dieting, your body lacks vitamins to have the energy to burn fat, and you should consume two and a half cups of vegetables to stay healthy.

Only juice for breakfast

Having only juice in the morning fills you with sugar and does not activate your metabolism. The idea is to have a balanced and complete breakfast so that your body activates and you start burning calories early on.

Becoming disillusioned quickly

Normally, when we are on a diet, we lose a couple of kilos in the first week, and then the process slows down. Many people become disillusioned and stop; don't do it, it's normal. In the first weeks, you only lose carbohydrates and liquid; the goal is to start burning fat.

Not sleeping well

Getting enough rest greatly influences the hormones of cravings and hunger. Try to get your eight hours of sleep; otherwise, you will crave everything that crosses your path.

Replacing diet with exercise

Exercising is great and necessary, but it does not replace a good balanced diet; they are 100% complementary activities.

Sticking to the same routine

Again, you need to exercise, but not always doing the same thing. Make sure to vary your activities between cardio, strength, and weights to achieve better results.

Only cardio

It has been shown that weightlifting and strength exercises burn much more calories than just running or cycling, so include some equipment in your routine. To complement these tips, we also leave you with three healthy recipes that will encourage you to continue with your diet: Tlalpeño broth   Pasta salad with tuna and peas   Kale and banana smoothie
