Since I know I’m not the only gal out there who wants to get back into shape in time for bikini season, today I’m teaming up with Symyx Elevate to share 7 common weight loss mistakes that make it difficult to lose weight.
1. BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL
If you’re trying to lose weight, one of the best things you can do for yourself is commit to at least 7.5 hours of sleep a night. Why? Because sleep deprivation slows your metabolism and causes your ghrelin and leptin levels to get out of whack, which often leads to overeating. So rather than reaching for that bag of chips at 10 pm, consider putting on your pajamas and getting a little extra shut eye instead. Your waistline will thank you.
2. SKIPPING BREAKFAST
The jury is still out on whether skipping breakfast causes weight gain, but personal experience has proven to me time and again that if I start my day off with a well-balanced, protein-rich meal (I usually have plain Greek yogurt with blueberries), I not only have more energy and feel more alert, but I’m also much less likely to crave a calorie-laden mid-morning snack.
