I am going to help you out today! There are always articles online about ‘how to lose weight by xyz’ or ‘tips to squeeze in a workout’… well, today we’re talking about the worst ways to multitask for weight loss. For more on this topic, read here the perfect exipure diet plans.
When you want to drop some weight, it’s tempting to look for help anywhere you can. If your thoughts turn to supplements or herbal remedies, keep in mind that research gives many of them mixed reviews. In some cases, there isn’t a lot of science to back up the claims, and some have health risks. Talk with your doctor first before you try any.
Also, you should know that the FDA has cracked down on some weight loss supplements that had prescription drugs in them that weren’t noted on the label. You can’t always tell what you’re getting.
1. Taking a walk with your friends…
to the donut shop.
2. Going to yoga and taking a nap during Savasana (and/or taking child’s post 3/4 of the class).
Mostly because it’s embarrassing when the instructor wakes you up for snoring.
3. Throwing down the weights while strength training to save the time of setting them down.
4. Going to get ice cream after your weigh in.
Okay, maybe this one is actually genius.
And I feel like I’ve done it many times.
5. Planking while eating.
I’ve tried it and it’s no bueno.
Question: Do you have any of the worst advice for weight loss or getting fit?
roxanne says
Nice ones ! That’s the best advice I’ve ever read before. How about reading about diets and get very hungry because I see lots of pictures with great food recipes .
Tricia @ A Couple of Dashes says
This is hilarious! Now I want all of the junk food!
Katie says
Finishing a run at the pub. Enough said! Or visiting pubs during a run (my club does this..)
runeatrepeat says
I need to join this running club…
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
I love that other people watch food network on the treadmill – I used to do that ALL the time. Eating all the food is one of the benefits to running all the time 🙂
Sue says
Best sight (or not!) of the day on Wednesday: a lady munching on a burger while walking on the treadmill at the gym.
No. Kidding.
Tara @ Living Light says
Haha, awesome!
Calculating calories burned during a workout so you know how much ice cream you can eat later! And then not counting the calories from the toppings… cuz that would be a waste of time 😉
I do this all the time…
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out says
Opening a snack and leaving it sitting next to you while you work…
Natasha says
Monica, you must not actually be doing any of these, because you’re looking GOOD, girlfriend! 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Ha! You made my day 🙂
Alisha @ Real Girl Running says
Treating yourself after your workout for all your hard work … with chocolate!
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West says
Stop eating. That one never works.
cheryl says
How about fueling like you are marathoning, when in reality, you are watching a movie marathon!
Sarah says
re-hydrating with wine! (actually it’s a brilliant idea)
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
Haha these are hillarious! Especially love the planking while eating one. 🙂
Shannon in Tustin says
I’ll say that having to walk PAST the donut shop right after the gym is really tough. I can’t tell you how many times I want to make that left turn and go right in to get something fresh, sugary and warm. 🙂
It’s the worst at 6am…
Amy @ Mama Running for God says
Thanks for the laugh this morning…the ones about yoga class and planking while eating cracked me up!
(ice cream is always appropriate…no matter what!)
runeatrepeat says
Love ice cream always and forever 🙂
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
hahaha I agree with watching the food network while working out. I used to work at a gym and was always shocked at the number of tvs that were turned to food network while people worked out!!
runeatrepeat says
Oh my gosh I totally used to do this on the treadmill!
Lauren says
Planking while eating is great! I’m usually scrolling through Instagram. Another bad advice for losing weight is eating fruit as a snack….on top of your frozen yogurt!
runeatrepeat says
Me too – I scroll insta if I plank.
Elaine says
Umm… That would be combining treadmill workout with pre-heating oven/baking frozen pizza so I can eat right after treadmill. It requires about a 30-second break, but at least I stop the treadmill rather than leave it running while I’m throwing the pizza in the oven.
Don’t judge. Please.
runeatrepeat says
I’m not here to judge 🙂
Brooke@runningonchange says
I would have to agree with JoJo. When I had a membership at 24 hour fitness, I would be running on the treadmill and all the sudden all these fancy chef’s are making delicious food all around me!
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
This is funny. Mine->Eating cookies while running. A lady at my gym does this all the time. Substituting dinner with a jar of nut butter.
runeatrepeat says
If it’s only half a jar of nut butter it’s okay, right?
Dim Corl says
Women are conscious for their weight and they try different thing to loose weight and even I tried also. Some also try Pre Workout for Women to increase their energy level and body strength
William Coulter (@BBWorkouts) says
What about having a glass of wine for the health benefits, then drinking the whole bottle.
runeatrepeat says
Sounds like a good idea to me 🙂
Angela says
Oh my goodness, when I was in high school and taking yoga for the first time with my mom, she used to have to wake me up at the end of every class! So embarrassing
runeatrepeat says
Ha!
AdjustedReality says
Grocery shop after the gym but before eating. Bad decisions abound! 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I go after long runs = THE WORST decisions.
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
Go out for girls’ nights because you know, don’t we want to support each other in healthy eating? Well usually that’s a bust as soon as the nachos are ordered for the table. 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Now I want nachos!
Jojo @ Run Fast Eat Lots says
Watching Food Network while running on a treadmill and then wanting to eat ALL THE THINGS
