Not a single gram less?

You’re exercising, you’re dieting – and still it doesn’t really work out with losing weight? Maybe one of these seven dietary mistakes is the reason.

You started your EMS workout highly motivated. After all, many people who have trained in your Bodystreet studio have achieved impressive results after just a few weeks: they have lost weight, built up muscles and visibly tightened their tissue through the effective whole-body training under stimulation. But so far you haven’t really lost any weight. Why is that? Perhaps you have overlooked some important aspects in your search for weight loss. EMS has been proven to improve blood circulation and the supply of nutrients to the tissues and helps to reduce fluid and fat deposits. But if you want to lose weight, you have to change your personal habits. A combination of demanding endurance and weight training units, a 20-minute EMS training session per week and an adjustment of the diet is ideal.

Don’t hesitate to ask your EMS trainer about this. He or she will be happy to help you optimise your diet so that you lose weight in a healthy way. Many old dietary beliefs are long outdated. Did you know, for example, that you should not give up fat or carbohydrates if you want to lose weight sustainably? We have compiled a list of the dietary mistakes that can be responsible for the longed-for weight loss.

1st dietary mistakes: avoid fat

Fat is the enemy of every diet – that’s what many people who want to lose weight believe. But this is not true: fat is one of the main nutrients in our diet and plays an important role in the body, for example as a building block of cells and nerve tissue and in the transport of fat-soluble vitamins. If you cut fat out of your diet completely in order to save calories, you can really mess up your metabolism. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should just eat pizza and chips if you want to lose weight. Pay attention to the unsaturated fatty acids, which are found in salmon, avocado and nuts, for example. The body can use these healthy fats particularly well.

2nd dietary mistake: drinking alcohol

You’ve had a stressful day at work, you’ve done your weekly workout – you deserve a drink as a reward, don’t you? Be careful, though, because alcohol is full of empty calories, dehydrates the body and inhibits fat burning. Not exactly ideal if you want to lose weight. Besides, wine, champagne and the like stimulate the appetite. That’s why they are often accompanied by nibbles. And some people have probably experienced the infamous “munchies” with pizza and kebabs after a night of drinking. If you want to lose weight, you should therefore also keep alcohol in moderation or even avoid it altogether.

3rd dietary error: too little fibre

Like fat, carbohydrates have a reputation for being nasty fatteners. That’s why they are often rigorously eliminated from diets – but this can be counterproductive if you want to lose weight. Above all, dietary fibre, i.e. the largely indigestible carbohydrates, play an important role if you want to lose weight. High-fibre foods include cereals, pulses, fruit and vegetables. They cause the blood sugar level to rise only slowly and thus prevent cravings. Fibre also slows down certain fat-splitting enzymes, so your body absorbs and stores less fat.

4th dietary mistake: too little protein

If you want to lose weight and build muscle mass at the same time, every meal should include at least one food rich in protein. The proteins contained in these foods not only provide a long-lasting feeling of satiety, they also stimulate the metabolism and supply important muscle building blocks. Animal protein is found, for example, in dairy products, eggs, meat, fish and seafood. Vegetarians and vegans should opt for lentils, soya, quinoa and chickpeas. Tip: After your EMS workout, treat yourself to the Bodystreet Amino Drink for an extra dose of protein.

5th dietary mistakes: sugary drinks

Drinks are often overlooked when creating a personal diet plan. We probably all know by now that cola and soda are real sugar bombs and therefore not very helpful if we want to lose weight. But fruit juices also contain a lot of sugar. Those who have declared war on the pounds on their belly, hips and thighs should therefore only drink juice heavily diluted as a spritzer. Also, avoid sugar in coffee and tea so as not to undermine your dietary efforts.

6th dietary mistakes: light products

Supermarket shelves are full of light products like low-fat yoghurt and other diet foods. Unfortunately, these supposed miracle cures do not help you lose weight. Because fat is a flavour carrier, light products often contain lots of sugar or sweeteners to make them taste good. They are therefore often higher in calories than the comparable original product. What’s more, while a normal yoghurt keeps you full for a relatively long time, a reduced-fat light product makes your stomach growl again much faster. The reason is that fat delays gastric emptying, while artificial sweeteners are suspected of stimulating the appetite and disturbing the intestinal flora.

7th dietary mistake: convenience foods

If you want to lose weight, you should cook for yourself as often as possible. Only then can you be really sure what ends up on your plate – namely healthy, fresh food. Ready-made products are quick and easy to prepare, but their long list of ingredients is often full of unhealthy ingredients such as salt, sugar and sweeteners. You should also not be blinded by advertising slogans such as “no artificial additives” and “enriched with vitamins”. Among primitive people groups who don’t eat highly processed foods, western civilisation diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes are almost non-existent. That should make us think, shouldn’t it?
