With the start of a new year, people are starting new diets. Although we recorded a similar podcast a few episodes ago, we felt it important to discuss this topic again. These are some of the common mistakes we discuss in this podcast: 1. Getting overwhelmed. 2. Comparing my journey with the journey of others. 3. Tracking calories. 4. Not listening to my body and it's own cues. 5. Not getting enough sleep. 6. Not drinking enough water or electrolytes 7. Trying to eat less. This is the article that Sheryl referenced in the podcast: Asadollahi, T., Khakpour, S., Ahmadi, F., Seyedeh, L., Tahami, Matoo, S., & Bermas, H. (2015). Effectiveness of mindfulness training and dietary regime on weight loss in obese people. Journal of medicine and life, 8(Spec Iss 4), 114–124.
