Eating healthier food and making better choices when it comes to nutrition is a big goal of many people. However, good intentions often lead to mistakes. Keep reading to learn about the most common nutrition mistakes so you can avoid making them.

Following a Diet too Strictly

Whether you consult a dietitian or find a diet you think is good on your own, it’s important to use common sense instead of following it too strictly. Only by getting to know your body and its nutritional needs, you will be able to maintain the new lifestyle permanently.

Being Afraid of Mistakes

You can’t expect to develop the kind of inner wisdom you need for a permanent change if you don’t allow yourself mistakes. Making a mistake is not tragic. It’s a way to try something new and acknowledge that it doesn’t work for you so you can move on to something better.

You should absolutely allow yourself to eat all the food you want. Not allowing yourself to eat a cookie when you’re with friends and everyone else is having one can be really bad for your mental health and for your long-term nutrition habits.
