COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE WHEN TRYING TO LOOSE WEIGHT

Only Focusing On The Scale Weight 

Measuring your waist with a tape measure and taking monthly pictures of yourself can reveal you're actually losing fat, even if the scale number doesn't change much.

Eating Too Many Or Too Few Calories 

You may be consuming too many foods that are healthy but also high in calories, such as nuts and cheese. Watching portion sizes is key.

Not Exercising Or Exercising Too Much 

During weight loss, you inevitably lose some muscle mass as well as fat, although the amount depends on several factors.

Not Lifting Weights

Performing resistance training is incredibly important during weight loss.

Choosing Low-Fat Or "Diet" Foods 

Processed low-fat or "diet" foods are often considered good choices for losing weight, but they may actually have the opposite effect.

Not Eating Enough Protein 

Protein has been shown to help with weight loss in several ways. To optimize weight loss, make sure each of your meals contains a high-protein food.

Getting enough protein is extremely important if you're trying to lose weight.
