To lose weight, people follow strict diet plans, work out for hours in the gym, but still sometimes they don't get the desired results. This happens because sometimes we are making some mistakes unknowingly.

If you have made up your mind to lose weight and are following a strict diet for this, sweating for hours in the gym, yet the weight is not reducing, then it can be disappointing for any person. Many times we unknowingly make such mistakes, which spoil our hard work. Not only dieting and exercise, but proper planning and healthy lifestyle also play an important role in weight loss.

If you too have been struggling for weight loss for a long time, but are not getting results, then it is possible that you are making these 5 big mistakes. Let us know why your hard work is going waste and how weight can be reduced by correcting these mistakes.

2. You will not get protein from lentils alone

Many people believe that lentils are the main source of protein, but in reality lentils have high amount of carbohydrates and low amount of protein. Apart from this, it is also difficult to digest. If you want to lose weight, then include eggs, cheese, tofu, chicken or nuts in your diet for protein.

3. Eating only homemade food will not reduce weight

If you think that only eating homemade food will reduce weight, then this is a big misconception. According to Neepa, to lose weight, you need to stay in calorie deficit, that is, you have to consume less calories than the calories you need daily. Whether you eat outside or homemade, if you do not measure the amount of calories, then it is difficult to lose weight.

4. Excessive workouts do not reduce weight faster.

Most people think that the more you exercise, the more weight you will lose. But the truth is that workouts contribute only 20-30%, the real role is of diet. Neepa says that calorie deficit is the most important, and if you do not maintain it, then even after exercising for hours, weight will not be reduced.

5. Do not stop living life happily, otherwise cravings can increase.

If you completely stop eating your favorite things in the process of losing weight, then its effect can be the opposite. This increases cravings and later there may be a problem of binge eating. Therefore, consume everything in balanced quantities and detox your body with superfoods.
