Mistake #1 – Trying To Change Too Much Too Fast
Everyone lacks patience including yours truly, but you need to trust me when I tell you that changing too much too fast will not lead to anything good. Most times, if you try to jump from eating 2-3 meals a day to 6-7 meals a day, you might not experience the best results and when you’re not eating you will probably be spending the majority of your time in the bathroom (sorry, but its true).
Baby steps works best and small progressions are much easier and less overwhelming. Besides, if you make things too difficult, you might just quite because it’s not fun anymore which is the one thing you want to avoid.
Mistake #2 – Spending Too Much Time in The Kitchen
Don’t get me wrong, the kitchen will be the place you spend a lot of your time outside of the gym, but what most people do wrong is spend too much time preparing food. You need to know how to maximize your efforts so that you are not spending too much time cooking more frequently than need be and I have some killer tips to have you prepare all your weekly meals in under 3-4 hours a week.
Mistake #3 – Reliance on Supplements
Reliance on supplements is one of the worse things you can do in the beginning because your body simply doesn’t need them. Now there are some essential ones that you need, but for the majority, there not worth it at this stage and sometimes not even as you progress. Your body will respond very well to simply changing your eating patterns when you start eating more quality foods in larger quantities. Take advantage of this time and save your cash for fresh food that your body was designed to have.
Mistake #4 – Not Being Fully Committed
Unfortunately, everyone will hit a point called the crossroads of the fitness lifestyle where they need to choose between old habits and new habits. If you begin eating healthier and start the bodybuilder’s diet, but are still consuming fast food, cookies, chips and more than enough alcohol, I’m sorry to say, but you will simply cancel each other out and you will not end up any better than you were before.
I am not telling you that you cannot enjoy your favorite foods now and again, but you are going to have to make a conscious effort to limit the bad intake and focus on the good intake. That’s just the way it works but you will be much more satisfied with the results and soon it will not feel like a stretch or an inconvenience.
Mistake #5 – Where’s The Variety?
One factor that makes most people quit the so-called bodybuilder’s diet is the fact that every meal seems to be chicken, rice and veggies…chicken potato and veggies…chicken and…well you get the idea. The key to sticking to your nutrition plans is to avoid boredom and tasteless meals. Sure at first it might be hard to think of new ways to prepare meals, but just do quick searches online to find healthy meal recipes and you will benefit big time from that.
Always try and include a variety of meals but following the same nutritional breakdown (amount of carbs,proteins and fats).
