The 5 Biggest Nutrition Mistakes You’re Probably Making

 

Are you one of those who give supreme importance to proper nutrition when it comes to health? If you said yes, then you must also be the one making some common nutrition mistakes doing more harm then good to your body! In this blog we will outline the top most nutrition mistakes we tend to make.

 

Enough has already been said about the importance of nutrition for both men and women. With so many hidden ingredients, confusing nutrition labels and marketing hype, it can be hard to sort the good from the bad. So, let’s cut through the basics of nutrition and figure out what’s holding you back from getting the results. Here’s what we see going wrong most often with people who want to work on their eating habits and what you can do instead.

 

  1. Avoiding Pre and Post Workout Meals 

There are many who have no idea about the importance of both pre and post workout meals. If you think avoiding them will help you burn fat faster, then sorry dear, you are very much wrong here, its all about calorie balance that really matters and if you fail to maintain that even best fat burner cannot help you. So, instead of denying your body of critical nutrients, feed it with foods to recover muscles. Indulge in some healthy eating.

 

  1. Neglecting Herbs & Spices

People often believe that their condiments and spices are the secret places where the empty calories hide. Ha ha ha. NO!  Chances are you might be using too much oil, sugar or butter in making these sauces, which is actually unhealthy. Try cooking with herbs and spices to add flavors to your food without adding any additional calories.

 

  1. Waiting To Eat Until You’re “Empty”

Try to find that balance, notice when you experience the feeling of hunger. Then honor them, feed your body with exotic fresh fruits, salads or nuts. End the experience feeling comfortable. As for what “gentle hunger” feels like, it can vary from person to person. Most of us confuse the feeling of hunger with thirst, feel weak or have a slight headache. So try gulping adequate amount of water to help you stay away from dehydration.

  1. Focusing On Subtracting Rather Than Adding

When people want to feel good about how they’re eating, the first thing they do is start excluding particular foods or food groups from their diet. They give up on dairy, gluten, sugar, or whatever else. And ultimately it’s not creating any real change since it’s usually temporary. So instead of getting rid of things, consider what healthy things you could add to your diet. That could be new foods, like fruits and vegetables, or it could be playing with the quantities of what you’re eating.

 

  1. Taking Too Many Supplements

We’ve been told to have our protein shake after every workout, fish oil supplement at breakfast, and multivitamins regularly but supplements use should be based on achieving your goals or to support your diet. For example, if you can’t eat a lot of salmon because it’s too expensive or you’re a vegan, fish oil can be a good solution. If you do choose to use a supplement, make sure you are getting a high quality product from a good source, which means doing some research to see where the supplements are made, how they will help you in the long run.
