Common Fat Loss Mistakes (Part 1)
Not Tracking Food Intake – Everyone should do this at some point. For at least a few weeks. Don’t worry, you will not have to do this the rest of your life to lose or maintain weight.
I find that most people need the awareness that comes from tracking. They need to get an idea of what a serving size is, how much they are really eating.
Too many liquid Calories – I have worked with a lot of people with excellent plans. With the exception of one BIG thing. They are drinking a lot of calories.
Of course the beer and wine can throw off an otherwise great plan. But there are tons of drinks marketed as healthy that are not. I have seen some smoothies packing in over 500 calories! It will be hard to lose weight if you drink a lot of calories.
Not Enough Fiber from natural sources- Hitting your fiber number is so important! I see people obsessed over their carbs and protein, but never track fiber.
Fiber from natural sources will help prevent hunger. You will get tons of nutrients from these foods. Beware of fiber from highly processed foods and meal replacements. Your body might respond in a negative way.
Obsessed with the Scale – Daily weight fluctuations will happen. If you obsess over the scale you might get frustrated and give up.
So many people are getting great results , but the scale is not showing it. They might be losing fat and getting some muscle back.
Pay attention to how you feel, energy levels, and how clothes fit. Get measurements and body composition done if you are a numbers person. Not saying you can’t track scale weight, just do not obsess over it.
Too few calories? – This one might seem surprising. But if you go too low with calories it will backfire. You will lose muscle and lower your metabolism. This is setting you up to regain the weight at some point in the future.
