Diet Tricks that backfire

Weight loss shortcuts aren't as effective as you may think. Here are some the ones that never work- and the strategies you can depend on.

The Trick...
1. Purging after a big meal-girls who purge (vomit) usually eat a lot of food beforehand because they think they will expel the calories by throwing up. In reality they lose only a small amount fraction of them and ultimately gain weight.

Purging causes dehydration, which makes a person feel tired and dizzy. Also forceful vomiting may tear the esophagus, and stomach acid can erode tooth enamel and cause decay.

2. Counting every calorie-watching each tiny calorie can lead to labeling fattening foods "off-limits," which can make a girl feel deprived. This may cause her to crave-then overeat-those very foods, and she will likely gain weight.

Girls who are hyper aware of calories label low calorie foods "good" and high calorie ones "bad" foods. This can develop into eating disorder.

3. Juice fasting a few days- fasting causes you to lose more muscle weight than fat. For many, this ultimately slow metabolism since this muscle burns more calories than fat- so you will regain the weight when you start eating again.

During a juice fast, you are not getting a full range of nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, and fat. As a result, you may feel tired and dazed, and won't be able to concentrate as well.

Tactics that do work:

• Sleep 8 to 9 hours-Sleep helps your body male less of the hunger hormone, so you naturally won't eat much.
• Eat protein at each meal- Protein takes longer to digest than fats and carbs, so fewer calories will keep you full.
• Hide fatty, sugary food triggers the appetite, so stash treats like chips and candy out of sight.
