3 key mistakes that keep you from losing weight

Some key mistakes can keep you from losing weight, according to nutritionist Anna Drobysheva (Russia).

Lack of water

According to RIA Novosti, the very first mistake is not drinking enough water. According to the specialist, to lose weight, you need to drink at least 8 glasses of clean water a day.

She says that water removes harmful substances and waste products from the body, reduces appetite but replacing clean water with other caloric drinks is a mistake.

Lack of fats

The second mistake is a lack of fats in the diet. According to the specialist, people who lose weight are afraid to eat fats because of the high caloric value. However, without sufficient fat, fat-soluble vitamins cannot be absorbed, which leads to serious health problems. According to a specialist, it is much more important for people wo lose weight to reduce carbohydrates rather than fats.

Lack of protein

Weight loss, according to the expert, also interferes with a lack of protein in the diet. Protein plays a key role in preserving muscle mass and burning body fat. According to the expert, protein should be at least 1/4 of the plate.
