Weight-Loss Habits That Are Working Against You These misconceptions could be making it harder to slim down D Losing weight can feel like a losing battle: Sometimes no matter what you try, it seems like you aren't making progress. "We live in an instant gratification society where we expect that eating less for one day should result in a 10-pound weight loss," says Crystal Bertrand, a registered and licensed dietitian with WellPlan at COMCARE in Salina. "When we don't get the results we are expecting quickly, we lose focus and assume that what we are doing just won't work. The best 'diet' is to eat appropriate portions of healthy foods such as lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, grains and low-fat dairy products. There is no quick fix for weight loss. Instead, we need to make small changes for the better that we can continue with over time." There are many misconceptions about the best way to lose weight- with some methods flat-out working against you. Although there's no single tried-and-true way to slim down, making these weight-loss mistakes might be holding back your progress. 6 srhc.comhttp://www.srhc.com
