7. Taking too many  “breaks.”  Its acceptable to take a break after a couple of weeks, but not each weekend!  “Insidiously, weekend blowouts keep you feeling deprived psychologically”, says Sarah Flower, author of The Healthy Lifestyle Diet Cookbook. ‘People liken the fun and relaxation of weekends to unhealthy eating,’ says Flower.‘They equate their working week with dieting and deprivation, which locks them in the mindset of “good” or “bad” eating. If you feel compelled to overeat every weekend, it suggests the way you’re eating most of the time isn’t satisfying you,’ says Dr Briffa.
‘You’re waiting for the weekend when you can enjoy your diet. But the healthy eating should be making you feel better, not be your penance.

Add  “Healthy looking foods”  in large quantities like seeds, nuts, olive oil, canola oil. “Hummus, pistachios, and peanuts contain healthy fats but come with masses of calories and often fail the ‘eat just one’ test. Such foods can act as triggers for those with a tendency to overeat. ‘It’s possible to overeat a healthy diet and as a result not lose weight – or even gain it,’ says Dr Briffa.” ‘Being “healthy” doesn’t give people carte blanche to completely ignore calories.’ Healthy looking foods often are the cause of many slowdowns and plateaus.
