Crash dieting

Losing track of what you eat
Keep a track on what all you eat in a day. Let it be the piece of food you eat from your friend’s plate, a cake piece that you eat in a birthday treat, etc. Adding up unhealthy food to your healthy diet plan may also slow down the weight loss.

Avoiding snacks
