Fat loss is not a walk in the park. Anybody that tells you it is, is lying. On the bright side, there are common pitfalls you can stay away from. And staying away from these pitfalls will save you a lot of pain and time. So without further ado, here are some things women need to avoid when losing weight: 1. Extreme caloric restriction: Extreme caloric restriction can be beneficial if not done for too long. You need to pair your restriction with periods of caloric surplus. This is the only way to prevent your body from crashing. And once this happens you will not be able to lose fat. 2. Eating for emotions: Sometimes life throws curve balls at you that are simply devastating. The problem here is that many women turn to food to mitigate the negative emotions. You see, food causes changes in the brain that are drug-like in effect. A better approach is to have backup activities that you can do while under negative emotions. 3. Weighing yourself every day: I've seen it time and again, a client of mine will weigh herself every single day and suffer from the resulting emotional roller coaster ride. Your body weight changes from day to day for a wide variety of reasons. Check your weight only once every couple of weeks. 4. Staying away from all comfort food: Doing this will eventually lead you to binge, not a good thing! So make sure you have your comfort food, but eat it on strategic days. You want to eat it on the days when you need to spike caloric intake. 5. Not taking NEPA seriously: NEPA simply stands for non exercise physical activity, and is probably one of the most overlooked ways of losing fat. You see, NEPA allows you to lose a very high percentage of fat while minimizing muscle tissue loss. Fat loss does not have to be a life changing event for you. Nor does it have to feel like pushing a boulder up a hill. So take action here today, not tomorrow!
