25 biggest weight-loss mistakes

It's no secret. The world is full of bad weight loss advice, whether it's from friends, co-workers, TV or the Internet. What are the 25 biggest weight-loss mistakes? Here's a few from an article from Daily Star:

May be you are anxiously looking for tips "to do" and a diet to "go on," which are essential to successful weight loss, but those are not the only things that you need to know.

Why? Many women have spent an average of 20 years "dieting," so a safe assumption is that we know a lot about what to do right. However, little attention is usually given on what not to do. Apply this list of things NOT to do to your healthful regimen, and spare yourself many of the pitfalls that derail most dieters.

1. Having a negative defeatist attitude. If you think there is no way that you are going to succeed this time, lose the weight and keep it off, then you will be right!

2. Going on any diet that is NOT a manner of eating that you can adhere to for the rest of your life. Be careful when deciding what nutritional plan you want to follow, as it should be a manner of eating that matches your tastes, budget and lifestyle.

3. Believing that you will eat cabbage soup — or any other low-cal, monotonous fare everyday for the rest of your life. It is not realistic to think you will eat that way for the entire time it takes to lose all the weight. It certainly will not teach you much about how to live healthfully for the long-term.
