Diet mistakes that every walker should avoid.

Walking or jogging alone cannot help you in loosing weight. You have to take care of your diet as well. Whatever you eat affects your weight and you cannot put the blame on walking and say that it is not good for loosing weight. Walking, in fact, not just burns those unwanted calories, but also helps you distress, boost your energy, keeps your heart healthy and also inspires your creativity.

To begin with, do not skip a meal just because you are in a hurry to lose weight. When you skip breakfast or lunch, your metabolism turns sluggish and your body stops converting food into energy and begin storing it as fats instead. Also, stay from energy bars. When you are out for walks, make sure you carry a water bottle with you. Never replace water with pre-packaged drinks - you will be unwittingly adding unwanted kilos to your body. If you are  dehydrated after a walk, you feel less energetic and begin to confuse your thirst for hunger; thus water is essential for your system to work properly.

Also in order to lose weight quickly, many don't include fat in their daily diet. This way, even the good fats are ignored. The omega 3s available in fish, coconut, seeds, nuts, olive oil and avocados are actually long-burning fuel and not eating these lead to carb-cravings. Besides that, every time you lose some calories, do not gift yourself a small pizza bite or chocolate pastry because it will add more calories than you just burnt! Your motivation to walk should not be a treat that has anything to do with calories. Also, just because you are feeling angry or irritable does not always mean that you are hungry. Learn to recognize your hunger and avoid stuffing yourself at wrong times. Rather, eat 0 fibrous foods at meal times that have less calories but fill you up better and for long.

KEEP IN MIND: It takes around 1 hour or brisk walking to burn 500 calories but only 30 seconds to add the same to your body.
