Common Dieting Mistakes

When you work through lunch and eat at your desk, you could be doing more harm to your body than you think. By not focusing on how many calories you’re consuming and eating mindlessly, you could be overeating. Overeating can be a huge factor in weight gain and if you’re serious about shedding pounds, it’s time to focus on food. Studies have found that those who overlap meal and screen times have a higher body mass index (measure of body fat based on height and weight) and are more likely to be overweight. Sitting down for meals at the table and focusing on eating until you’re full — not necessarily until your plate is clean — can lead to healthier habits and a smaller waistline.
