Moderate drinking is generally defined as enjoying no more than one drink per day for women and no more than two drinks per day for men. (The difference in the amount allowed for each gender is due to the fact that men and women process alcohol differently.)
Avoid it: Think light. Light beer, diet soda in mixed drinks, a wine spritzer.
7. Exercise Plateau
You may have cut back on your food, but have you increased your exercise? Becoming more active is a key component of weight-loss plans. Our bodies do adapt to consuming fewer calories, and eventually weight loss will slow down if you don’t work out. Exercise provides the spike we need to continue losing.
Avoid it: Add an extra hour to the weekly exercise you’re already doing. Change up your workout routine to keep things interesting and your body burning calories efficiently.
