Most people who start a calories loss diet usually give up their healthy eating plan within a week or eventually fail within three weeks. You do not need to be one of this large proportion of unsuccessful dieters if you learn to recognize and avoid three common pitfalls that confront everyone on a weight loss journey. Identifying these traps means that you will be able to change some of your dieting behaviours and expectations and make decisions that will see you enjoy eating while you lose weight.

Making radical changes to your eating habits happens all the time on diets, especially fad diets. If you go on a diet where you can only eat fruit, or only eat protein, or you must cut out all of one of kind of food it will be very difficult for you to stay on that diet. When you make changes to the way you eat you should make them gradually. If you make an extreme change to the way you eat and you do it fast then you will deprived and you will start to crave foods, making it more likely that you will go off your diet.

Setting unrealistic goals is tempting especially as, when you first start dieting, you might lose anywhere from five to ten pounds in the first couple of weeks. When that happens, of course you feel like the diet is great and you want that kind of weight loss to continue but most of the time early weight loss is all water weight. Real weight loss does not happen that fast. Experts say a healthy rate of weight loss is one to two pounds per week. So if you tell yourself that you want to lose ten pounds a week every week you are setting yourself up for disappointment. If you begin to feel disappointed and believe you are failing on your calories loss diet, you are more likely to give up on it and go back to your unhealthy lifestyle.

Eating food to celebrate your success is a very common social behavior and food is often at the center of celebrations both large and small. Drinks and nibbles on Friday night to celebrate a challenging week at the office is an accepted behavior. So if you are serious about your calories loss diet you need to either avoid these eating and drinking occasions or join in and enjoy the healthier food and drink options available. A glass or mineral water has way less calories than a beer! Another kind of celebration at the end of the week can include seeing a movie with friends (without the popcorn). Even something that will last longer like buying a new pair of shoes is a healthier way to celebrate without slowing down your weight loss.
