Feel like you’re doing everything right yet the scale just won’t seem to budge? If you’re frustrated with your fat loss progress, you might be making one, or many, of these mistakes.
#
Bites, licks, and tastes, while seemingly innocent, cause calories to add up over time. If you know you’re guilty of this, take a week or two and really try not eating anything outside your planned meals and/or snacks.
#
For many dieters, it’s easy to stay on track during the week, but come the weekend all bets are off. It doesn’t matter if you’re perfect Monday-Friday, overeating on the weekend, can undo all the progress you made the days before.
#
You can be eating nothing but the healthiest foods and still not lose fat. Nuts and nut butters, olive and coconut oil, avocado, etc. while all healthy, pack a big caloric punch. Not to say don’t eat them, but do be mindful of how much you’re eating.
#
Portion distortion can easily sabotage fat loss. A heaping tablespoon instead of a leveled one can be the difference in at least 50 extra calories.
#
Doing all the exercise with no days off? Might seem like the right thing to do, but not giving your body days off to recover can increase cortisol and cause water retention and fat gain.
#
If you’re killing it in the gym but sitting on your butt the rest of the day, then you’re probably not burning that many calories. Increasing your non exercise activity is an easy way to start seeing some progress.
#
You can’t diet forever without your metabolism slowing down, meaning you’ll be burning fewer calories overall. You should only be dieting for 8-12 weeks at a time a few times per year.
#
Chronic inflammation from too much exercise, unmanaged stress, not enough sleep, gut infections, food intolerances, etc. all increase cortisol and prevent fat loss or even lead to weight gain.

how much olive oil per day is too much 在 Zoe Raymond Facebook 的最佳貼文
Boxing day's morning quick fix breakfast in a jar before I go for yoga!

Ever since I was little, my parents taught me never to waste food. It’s always tempting to over order when everyone is hungry, so the family would always review our orders first to ensure that we can finish the food before submitting to the kitchen. However, on some days where there's excess food, we will request to have them packed up. My mom will then prepare it for our next meal.

It is in me to do the same now & this morning's healthy breakfast jar was prepared with leftover fruits & vegetables I found in my fridge. You can't tell, could you? Recipe's just 4 slices of cucumbers, half a tomato, half a fragrant pear, 2 slices of dragonfruit & just a few pasta bows I got from Italy, to complete the colorful jar- all tossed with balsamic vinegarette & olive oil. Preparing meals like these can be really fun too!

Do you know that in 2015 alone, Singapore generated 786 million kg of food waste! That is like an average of 2 bowls of food waste generated per person per day, which is crazy! Realising that so much food waste was actually produced in a year makes me pay attention to how much food I buy and order everyday, and you should too!
