Diets are of various types and are done for various reasons. It is usually done by people who want to lose weight or those who want to improve their physique. A diet is a properly planned way of gaining food requirements. Though having a diet will help a person, it will not give results alone. Doing exercise along with a dieting is a healthy and good practice. Even dieting can be unhealthy. The body requires calories and all the food groups. In many diets, there are restrictions on fats and carbohydrates. It can later lead to health problems. Having a balanced diet consisting of all health groups is important.

Our body needs some nutrients in less quantity and some more. So plan your diet accordingly. Even after a balanced diet, you are still unable to see results? There are chances you are doing something wrong. You will find you are wrong about your dieting and avoid them. Here are a few of the reasons because of which you can not see the results even after dieting. 

Eating without hunger: 

Usually, you eat food because you are hungry. But people do not eat because of that reason. The eating habits of people differ. Like having bigger portion sizes, frequently eating, or eating small meals. It can lead to constant hunger. This happens because your diet lacks nutrients. Having all your diets in a balanced way is important. So, do not skip any food group from your meals. If you feel hungry in between, try having some fibrous food and water. It will help maintain balance in the diet as well as hunger. To maintain proper portion sizes, you increase the frequency of meals. Try eating snacks between meals. But, do not eat big snacks. Also, boredom plays an important role in eating habits. If you are feeling bored, you tend to eat more. So, while doing so, eat healthy snacks with low sugar levels. 

Avoiding fat like the plague: 

When we think about a diet, the first thing we decide is to cut fats. It is always said that fats are the only culprit of all health problems. But fats are also important. Fats are lubricants between the joints. If you are low in lubrication, you may feel immense pain and other orthopedic problems. You can not avoid them, but you can try to reduce them. You must avoid low-fat products as they contain artificial fats. These fats may be more harmful. Try eating food that contains natural fats. You can eat avocado, wild salmon, flaxseed, walnuts, meat, etc. Eat saturated fats and omega-6 fats in moderation. 

Go for a proper snack: 

Everyone loves snacks in between meals. Having some chips, cookies or candies is always a guilty pleasure. If you are following a diet, your dietitian will put restrictions on these snacks. Do not be sad, why not eat nature’s candy? Yes, you guessed it right, fruits. They are tasty, colorful, and yummy. So, it is easy to accept it. But we can not forget that fruit contains sugar.

Therefore, having them in high quantity will ultimately lead to an increase in sugar in your body. If you want to cut back on sugar and still enjoy snacks, go for veggies. Vegetables are the best snacks. They are high in fiber and low in sugar. While planning your snacks, Go for maximum veggies. Add a few fruits and some chips if you crave them. Pack your snacks in small portion sizes, so that you do not overeat. If you have a sweet tooth, it is difficult to cut down on desserts. But, you do not have to forget desserts to have a diet. Go for dark chocolate. It is a perfect dessert and contains low sugar. However, it is advised to limit yourself to only two pieces. 

Stressful lifestyle: 

Stress, if not controlled, can lead to many health problems. But it can also affect your eating habits. Food tends to comfort people. So, people feel stressed, they eat more. While some eat more, others tend to avoid their hunger cues. Avoiding meals completely. This is another problem. So try to not avoid food. But if you are emotionally eating, eat healthily. Go for exercise, yoga, or meditation. It helps you relax as well as burn your calories. If it is a big problem, do not hesitate to contact a professional. Avoiding it will only worsen the problem. 

Healthy sleeping habits: 

Proper sleep is important for our health. Your body needs rest after a whole day of wear and tear. If you do not have proper sleep, it can lead to eating more calories. It can be because you are up for more time. But it can also be because when you are tired,  you crave more unhealthy food. Sleep deprivation affects our body functions, which also includes metabolism. So, having a proper sleep schedule will help. Take proper sleep for around 7 to 8 hours. Also, figure out how much sleep you need to be completely awake and alert. If you are a little bit tired, it only means you have not had proper sleep. 

And the results are? 

Starting a diet is not as easy as opening a compartment and taking out chocolate. In the beginning, our body goes through a lot of changes. It can lead to fatigue, stress, and sleep deprivation. You will not see the results of the diet initially. Follow the diet religiously and do exercise along with it. Completely erasing your old food habits can be problematic. Try swapping existing items with healthier versions. Still, if you do not see any changes, try to eliminate the above reasons. You are sure to get results. So do not just go dieting, exercise along with it for better results.
