#10 Not Listening to Your Body
Dieting is stressful to both the body and mind. As such, there’s only so long you can diet before the body needs a break, either mentally or physically.
If you’ve been dieting for a considerable length of time already (>12 weeks), you may just need to tap the breaks for a week or two and eat at maintenance calories.
This reduces stress on your physiology, allowing hormone levels to normalize, and it also helps alleviate some of the psychological burden that builds up over the weeks of constantly having to think about dieting and exercising more.
After a period of maintaining, you can jump right back into dieting if you feel you still need to drop a few more pounds before hitting your ultimate end goal.
