Too Much Too Soon
Trying to lose weight rapidly can result in disappointment. Implementing a “reduced calorie” diet that gradually allows you to lose weight is a step in the right direction. Reducing your food intake by just 300 calories a day can lead to a weekly weight loss of 1lb.  Consider this: 1lb of fat is equal to 3500 calories.

Skipping Meals
Skipping a meal in an effort to save calories, and only eating one, two or even the traditional three meals a day slows the metabolic rate of the body.  Speeding up your metabolism is as simple as eating smaller portions more frequently.  Eating six or more times a day, every 3 to 4 hours, is ideal.

Restricting Too Much
The “all or nothing” approach to avoiding favorite, high calorie foods can quickly go from “nothing” to “all.”  It’s better to find a happy medium that is realistic and attainable.  Calculate a high calorie treat into your weekly meal plan to help curb the cravings.

Portion Control
LIMIT YOUR PORTION SIZE.  A good measure of an appropriate portion size is a closed fist.  THIS ISN’T A MISTAKE.  Eat this proper portion six times a day, or every three hours, and you will find yourself satisfied.  You won’t find yourself in a food comma the hour after you eat either.

Failing to Plan
It’s easy to fall off of a diet with simple temptations.  Take healthy snacks with you in the car, keep them in the drawer at work, and have them on hand throughout the day.  When cravings strike you’re able to strike back with The Biggest Loser Protein•2GO, Red Raspberry flavor with only 40 calories.
