Mistakes that women often make while dieting
Do you feel like no matter what diet you try, you just don't seem to lose weight? Well that's probably because unknowingly you may be committing common diet mistakes as follows...
Going overboard with olive oil
In their quest to eat healthy, many women think that because olive oil has so many health benefits, even a generous amount is fine. Experts, however, caution that while olive oil boasts of benefits like having heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, flavonoid antioxidants and vitamin E, it also has its share of calories (120 calories and 14 grams of fat per tablespoon).

What to do: Be cautious even while using olive oil. Measure out the oil before you use it so you can keep a track of your consumption.
Avoiding eating fruits
If you resist eating fruit by convincing yourself that it is laden with sugar and hence fattening, you're doing more harm than good. While fruits do have natural sugars, they also have good amount of essential vitamins, fibre and minerals that are known to make you feel full longer than regular snacks.

What to do: Fruits like apples, strawberries, grapefruits and watermelons are tasty and healthy choices for those on a diet.
Going gluten-free without being allergic
You need to have a good enough reason to go gluten free. Don't just go for it because other people are following it or because your favourite celeb swears by it. A gluten-free diet is recommended for those who suffer from wheat-related bloating, which causes the Celiac disease. This is an autoimmune disorder where consuming wheat damages your small intestine. Hence, a gluten-free diet is only for those people who suffer from it, not for those wanting to lose weight. By eliminating whole grains and wheat flour, you're keeping your body away from essential foods.

What to do: Include flax, millet and quinoa in your diet.
Barely eating and exercising for hours
If you think that by spending hours in the gym and cutting back drastically on your food intake will help you lose weight faster, you couldn't be more wrong. When you reduce your meals and food portions, your metabolism automatically slows down and losing weight becomes even harder. Even if you do lose those pounds, you will gain them back when you start eating regularly, thereby beating the very purpose of going on a diet.
