throughout the day this type of trick can also expose an obsessive personality that you may have be your number one Supporter research has shown that when we focus on just losing weight rather than being fixated on a certain number we have better luck in reaching our goals our weight fluctuates every single day depending on the number of factors one of the biggest factors is water weight if you ate a particularly carb heavy meal the night before and then step on the scale it is entirely possible for the scale to jump 5 maybe even 10 pounds this doesn’t mean that you miraculously gained 10 pounds overnight your body is just retaining water it is perfectly normal for our weight to fluctuate every day but some people tend to obsess over this fluctuating number which can be unhealthy and ruin their progress in the long run the verdict on this trick is that it’s bad advice number seven eat a lot of mini meals throughout the day many people think that if they substitute the three major meals we’re required to eat per day with many small meals they will lose weight the best way to dissect this trick is with pure facts research shows that eating five to six meals a day is no better

more time go ahead and do it but it will not provide you with any results you’re looking for did you know that there’s a little-known but effective way to listen to your cravings that can help you

ingredients you’re consuming but you also have the power over how much you’re actually going to eat when you purchase fast food or a meal at a restaurant the portions have one size fits all the

your body if you’ve been slacking off but by no means is it a great way to live day by day the verdict on this trick is that it can be a great addition to your program but it’s not a good choice for sustaining weight loss number four snap a picture if you can find the time to send a picture of every meal you consume to a nutritionist you would be incredibly dedicated to making your weight-loss

down number three taking weight loss supplements some weight loss tips are just ways for big companies to earn money take weight loss supplements for example research has shown that there is no way to substitute frequent exercise and healthy eating with supplements buying weight loss supplements is the equivalent to flushing your money down the drain they are a great addition but there’s no supplement out there that can make you lose weight without exercise or dieting they are meant to supplement an already healthy diet and training program not replace it furthermore these supplements
