8 Common Weight Loss Mistakes We can be our own worst enemies when it comes to achieving the weight loss results we want. Often we keep ourselves stuck. We end up working super hard to ultimately derail our own consistency. We think, “Do more,” and often overhaul our entire lifestyle for some new popular program. When really we should be focusing on small, realistic changes to create the healthiest version of our personal lifestyle. Too often we don’t actually recognize our priorities in life and then they become the excuses that derail us. I don’t have time to train because of my job. I can’t track macros because of family meals. When really we should shape our new routines and habits AROUND what truly matters most to us. But we don’t do this because we fall prey to the fad diet out there promising overnight results. Because of these fad diet, overnight transformations we see online, most of us do tend to overestimate what we can accomplish short term while even underestimating what we can accomplish with long-term consistency which allows those results to snowball. But I want to save you the heart ache of starting another program, working super hard, to only ultimately end up worse off than where you started. That’s why I wanted to share 8 common weight loss mistakes I see people making and how to avoid them.
Just found your channel. Hitting a plateau due to spine issues Many exercises I cannot do without extreme pain.any suggestions - need to lose 8 lbs and just can’t
I'm putting on weight and losing muscle. If I was eating too much I should be putting on fat and muscle since I do hard strength training 3x per week but my muscles have been getting significantly weaker. If I was eating too little, I'd be losing muscle but I should be losing fat. I'm losing muscle and gaining fat. I don't know what's going on
The moment I take protein supplements I gain weight. Was that way when I was 35 and is still so now that I’m 70. And I work hard at gym!
I’m just starting out. What is the percentage I should be aiming for my macros breakdown?
I have been exercising for one month at burn boot camp, I was thinking Of doing alternate day fast to fix my broken metabolic rate. What do you think can fix the long time of deficit? I love heavy weights but I cut calories for years.
Training for Spartan racing so probably not a great time to try fat loss? Also went through surgical menopause last year 45 yrs old on HRT. Been a challenging roller coaster for sure. Personal Trainer. Been trying to figure out what works best for my body. Thank you for your amazing videos
I am LOVING your total glow up. I have been following you for a while and see how much you've recently been investing into your content. You are doing such great work, keep it up!!
Two things --
1. It would be helpful if you could use more text in your videos to help hammer home tips, take-aways, key messages
2. What tracking app do you use??? I keep searching different videos and have not gotten your recommendation! I hope the reason is because you are still finishing the final deals of your contract with them, because, girl, you should be getting PAID.
These are some great tips! I do have a question in regards to what to do if you happen to injure yourself. Should you still strength train? I think I have tennis elbow, but it hasn't been confirmed by a doctor yet.
Oh! I CAN track macros even with family meals, but for example, last time they brought ceviche, and I ended up eating 3 ceviche tostadas!
Its refreshing to see a person give logical ways to lose weight. Took me years to figure some of tthese things out
Do u hv book where u gain all these knowledge about health improvement, if so plz give us the name..
Great tips…. Just can’t seem to put the effort into measuring ….. I hit my protein targets & I’m happy & strong
i would be interested in a more detailed video, for example, you say many times "don't eat too little", but what is too little? What exactly. I started tracking and currently i focus on protein and it turns out that in the end of the day i always have something like 50%carbs, 30%protein and the rest is fat +/-. (i'm a runner who does some bodyweight excercises twice a week, gymnastic stuff so not even close to the exercises you are doing. (-you rock! :) ) It is so confusing like my watch says on workout days that i've burned (in total) 3400kcal and on non workout days i'm only at 1800. (i'm a student i do sit around quite a lot) My tracker-app suggested to do a 1200kcal diet but it feels like i'm starving on non-workout days and it's unbelievebal much food to eat on workout days. bruh :D
I’m a guy. I’m definitely not trying to lose weight. My goal is to have bulging biceps and six pack abs. I mostly agree with what you’re saying. However, I believe that the mirror means more than the scale. There are many bodybuilders and professional athletes with BMIs well over 30.
I’m not saying that it’s ok to eat 6 slices of pizza and drink two liters of soda every day. I’m just saying that a person shouldn’t obsessively look at a scale and count every grain of rice on their plate.
I see chewing but no swallowing of those crap foods lol
Yup. More does not mean better. You need a sweet spot. Plus, you know what they say- "slow and steady wins the race"! (Not that there is a race)
Got a video for counting macros....think this where I be going wrong!? 😊
I checked on Dr Okooboh on YouTube and ordered for cure for Hsv2 4 weeks ago and today am negative after my doc confirmed it no symptoms of herpes in my immune system and my IGG value dropped to its minimum....
The “eating too little” I am SO guilty of, so SO guilty of, and since the calories in, calories out equation is so fixed it really messes with me and frustrates me when I end up failing over and over! Thank you so much for commenting on this, I always trust your advice and it’s helping me change my thought process 🥲
