Are there reasons why your running isn’t producing results? These are the most common mistakes people make and what you should avoid to lose extra pounds with running.

The most common mistake people make after training is rewarding their efforts. You reach for foods that are full of fat and carbohydrates – the ones that send signals of pleasure and reward to our brains. In this way, in just a few minutes you can compensate for many more calories than you spent running. The end result – you struggle with running, but there are no results. To get some benefits from your workout, you need to know what to eat afterward. Otherwise you will lose your will.

The next time you reach for a piece of pizza and cake with the intention of rewarding yourself, think about whether it is really a reward for you. Wouldn’t it be nicer to see that your training is producing the expected results?

Be aware of how many calories you burn with this activity. It depends on your running speed and pace, how long you run, and how heavy you are. A person weighing approximately 65 kilograms will burn close to 500 calories in an hour if he runs at a speed of one and a half kilometers per hour. If you don’t have that fitness, you won’t burn as many calories. To lose weight you need to eliminate 500 calories from your daily regimen, some from your plate, some by running.

Although running should become a routine, that doesn’t mean you have to do it at the same pace in the same place at the same time every day. Why is this wrong? If you do the exact same exercises for an hour every day, your muscles quickly get used to the exercise and it no longer feels like an effort. It is also an obstacle to losing weight and will become tiring and boring!

You don’t just rely on the scale

Muscles also have their own weight, which is obtained through training. You measure your results by your reflection in the mirror, your waist circumference, and the amount of belly fat you can squeeze. Evaluate what you gained and what you lost!

Don’t drink energy drinks while running. They may have more carbohydrates and calories. Water is best if you go for a run.

You run too much. Believe it or not, this may be why running to lose weight isn’t for you. Excessive stress creates an excess of the hormone cortisol, which is closely related to your belly fat. Moderation is the key to success.

You eat too little. Keep in mind that restrictive diets such as a no-carb diet are not a good running diets. If you don’t eat carbs at all, you won’t have the energy to train, you’ll feel tired, and sluggish, and you’ll have a hard time recovering after training. You won’t stick to that regimen for long, and you’ll quickly fall back into old habits.

This is the only way to achieve the desired results.
