Don’t Make These Calorie Cutting Mistakes!

	Cutting calories is a great way to lose body fat . Actually, recent studies show that it doesn’t matter what diet you are on, it's effectiveness comes down to burning more calories than you take in. However, if you make the following common mistakes you may be doing more harm than good . Three of the more common mistakes dieters make while lowering caloric intake include: 1. Cutting an excess amount of calories out of their diet and/or not getting a variety of healthy foods. Many people try to short cut the diet process and cut too many calories out at once, however, in this case more isn't better and can even be dangerous. Cutting too many calories out of your daily diet can cause a reduction in muscle mass, fatigue, nausea and other minor side effects. 2. Drastically lowering your caloric intake also goes hand in hand with the other common mistake; not eating a healthy variety of foods. When you drastically cut your calories to around 800 or so a day ( which is classified as a VLCD or Very Low calorie Diet) it's hard to get all the nutrients you need. 3. Another major downfall of cutting too many calories out of your diet, which is one that 95% of all dieters face, is regaining all the weight back they lost (and then some). This is because when you drastically lower your caloric intake your body's metabolism drops and it starts to store fat. So when these dieters return to normal eating habits they gain all the weight back and sometimes even more due to their lowered metabolism.
