And there are a lot of factors that can influence the successful or not of a diet project. The following are pieces of helpful information that you have to read about several causes that can disturb your diet or even can lead to the failure of your diet!
Poor intake of calcium
A research of the British Journal of Nutrition in 2009 has found that adequate intake of calcium can give a positive contribution to lose pounds of weight more easily.
The key is due to the ability of the brain that can detect the deficiency of calcium, and in order to get back the adequate intake of calcium then the brain will sent signal to increase your appetite. The body usually needs at least around 1,000 mg of calcium per day. Therefore, if you want to make your diet success then the intake of calcium is something that must be concerned as well.
The wrong intake of carbohydrates
There is nothing special in this case! Everyone who has diet project might clearly understand what is the important on eating less carbohydrate in order to burn the weight off faster.
But the most important is how to make sure that you get proper intake of carbohydrates and how to apply it continuously on your daily menu list. A moderate amount of carbohydrates (calories) that you eat is so important to help and maintain your healthy weight.
Older ages (more than 40 year old)
In fact, older people are relatively more difficult to maintain their weight than young people (less than 40 year old). The muscle mass will lose drastically while you are getting older, and this situation can give bad effect for your body to keep the performance of metabolism.
Therefore, it’s so important for older people to do exercise regularly (like jogging, yoga or just walking around in the morning) in order to keep the metabolism level and promote good health for the entire body.
You don’t get adequate intake of good-fat
Many people who are doing a diet project usually avoid consuming fat. But you should know that not all fats are bad or not good for your body! There are also good-fat that required by your body. Even consuming unsaturated-fat foods (like olive oil, avocados, or nuts) will be helpful for you to reduce your appetite.
Good-fat has important function which associated with the production of oleoylethanolamide (compounds in the small intestine). And this oleoylethanolamide can give a satisfied signal to the brain that eventually will be helpful for you to control your meal more easily.
Nevertheless, you should still keep the intake of good-fat around two or three tablespoons (45-30 ml) a day.
Big meal that you eat in the weekend!
You are hard-working to eat less from Monday to Friday, but in the weekend you may lose your control to any foods that you have to avoid and the food portions that you eat. Some studies have found that most people can eat more (big meal) in the weekends, particularly on Saturday. In this day you may also lose your control on choosing between the healthy foods and junk foods.
Therefore, if you seriously want to get a successful result on losing your weight then you must be more watchful to any foods that you eat in the weekends.
In addition, don’t forget to be more careful from the size of the meal-snacks! You may think that consuming a small size snack of potato chips doesn’t matter for your diet program. But once again be careful, otherwise you will eat unconsciously a lot of small size snacks a day (you cannot monitor or lose control on how much you eat).
