What is diet?

Diet is food protocol to be framed as per the individual goal. it contains a list of foods to be eaten by the individuals, there are plenty of diet patterns available over the internet, but diet should be pattern only in three way i.e, enjoyable, realistic, aggressive. no matter which pattern of diet you following. a good diet contain all macros and micros needed for the individual. 

Enjoyable diet- In this pattern 80% of foods framed from junks and 20% will be from healthy foods this type of diet only prescribe to the people who cannot control their temptation in foods.

Realistic- In this type 80% of calories from healthy foods and rest comes from their food choice, i recommend you to follow this type of diet. no matter whatever you goal is just blindly follow this pattern because its more realistic and sustainable. you can able to follow for long period.

Aggressive- In this pattern 100% of calories comes only from healthy foods. this can be followed by athletes and pro bodybuilders during their contest preparation.

Mistakes to be corrected!

Diet is the only element which helps to pursue an individual goal. but when it comes for beginners they are confused with lots of myth. if you can't see a result, then you should check back your diet and probably their will be a minor mistakes you may done, which cannot be identify by the beginners. i have discussed 10 important mistakes should be correct by the beginners below.

1. Not getting the enough macros

There are three types of macros, i.e, protein, carbohydrates, and fats these are the three essential factors helps to pursue individual goal. the quantity of macros depends on individual goal, if you are belongs to building muscles or losing fat you can blindly take 2g of proteins, 4g of carbs and 0.5g of fats per kg of your body weight.

2. Assuming the food

Not weigh a food is the common mistakes done by most of the beginners, the quantity of the foods should matter, you should consume correct food ratio to achieve your goal. start weigh a food instead of just assuming. the food assumption may lead you to consume few calories more than its actual prescribed calories.

3. Relying on crash diet

Some people forces themselves to relay on crash diets to lose weight more faster. they consume low calories than he/she train. if you consume only 1000 calories per day. definitely it will help to lose weight faster at the same time its slows your metabolism. once you finished your diet, your body will burns calories slowly due to slow metabolism and probably you might regain your old weight ASAP.

4. Focusing on packaged healthy foods

You can see many people who into the fitness line they always choose processed healthy foods instead of real foods. be aware of the foods that can be labeled with, low fat. gluten free, sugar free, healthy choice and diet friendly, they could actually be bad for your waistline, most of these foods are processed and contain many harmful ingredients like, corn syrup, vegetable oil, etc. focus on real whole healthy foods that not from packing.

5. Not eating enough fat

The research has says that people who in high fat diet they tend to loss more fat quicker than the people who stick with low fat diet. many people defamed the fat that something you should avoid in your diet. the truth is fat helps to lower the bad cholesterol and its important macronutrients helps to feel full while you are in dieting. stick to healthy monounsaturated foods like, avocado, olive, coconut, nuts etc.

6. Eating too much healthy foods

Many people will say that they were in diet but they can't lose the fat. the reason is they consuming too much calories from healthy foods than its body actually needs. eating healthy doesn't mean not getting fat. your body will see foods as just calories, they don't further classify weather its healthy or not. once you reached your daily maintenance calories after every calories you eat is stored only as fat.

7. Not focusing on drinking calories

when counting a calories many don't care about their sipping calories. they think that only eaten calories should be determined. this the huge mistakes most of the healthy beverages may contain preservatives and calories. when it comes for weight loss it definitely will affect thegoal. so count your sipping calories too.

8. Not adding water in diet

water is a zero calories drink, if you are into fat lose or muscle building no matter what. make sure you getting hydrated sufficiently, water helps to shrink the fat cells and bring back your loosed electrolytes at your training. there is a myth that sipping a water in-between the workout session may increase your weight, especially for the people who into the weight loss. try to drink 1 liter of water per 20kg of your bodyweight.

 9.Not snacking enough

Mindless snacking can pad your waist line and thoughtful snacking just do the opposite. snacking helps to control hunger and cravings especially peoples who are in weight loss. a high protein snack will increase your metabolism. always prefer nuts for snacking.

10. Ditching on dairy products

Full fat milk, cheese, ice-cream are taboo for the people who into the weight loss. but research says that body burn more fat when it gets enough calcium and its generate more fat when it don't. there are many calcium supplements available in the market but it doesn't generate same benefits as dairy do. try to get calcium from dairy products, you can take those calcium from, low fat milk, cottage cheese, panneer etc.
