Running for weight loss is very popular, whether you live in the city or suburbs, you can often see people run.
It's an excellent method, nor only is it useful to lose weight, but it will also improve your general health - running improves cardiovascular system, stamina and endurance.
But some people just can't seem to lose weight by running, and in some cases even gain weight.
Why is that? It's because they are making one or several of the 2 costly mistakes.
What are those mistakes? Just continue to read.
Don't Count Calories I am actually somewhat against calorie counting.
Not because it's bad but because people get caught up in it too much, how many calories does this food has, how many will that exercise burn, it removes the focus from losing weight to counting calories.
However, this is one situation where you need to watch how much you eat.
When you run, you get hungry, which will naturally result in you eating more as your body tries to replenish energy lost without burning fat.
If you don't watch how much you eat, you can over eat and cover all the calories that you've burned by running, in some cases people would eat even more than that and actually gain weight.
Too many people seem to make a mistake thinking that just because they run 3 miles a day they can eat anything they want as much as they want.
That's simply not the case, and you need to make sure that when you start running, you don't increase the amount of calories consumed.
Remember the goal is to create a shortage to force your body to burn fat to cover it.
