Losing weight seems simple: eat less, exercise more. Yet many people make the same mistakes that cause them to stagnate or even gain weight. Here are the 10 biggest pitfalls and how to avoid them.
Errors and solutions:
-
Undereating – Long-term low calorie intake slows your metabolism.
-
Not doing strength training – Muscle loss leads to less burning.
-
Too much cardio – Can damage muscle mass without strength training.
-
Crash diets – Often lead to yo-yo effect.
-
Not eating protein – Protein protects muscle mass and is satiating.
-
Poor sleep – Disrupts hormones that regulate hunger.
-
Incorrectly measuring progress – Don’t just look at the scale.
-
Overdoing cheat days – Can completely negate the calorie deficit.
-
No planning or structure – Without preparation you lose focus.
-
Expecting Fat Loss to Be Fast – Patience is Key.
