1. Eating More. Instead of cutting out things that make you fat, some people will actually eat more while telling their friends that they are trying to lose weight. Not only is this counter productive, it makes you look like an idiot!
2. Avoiding Fruit. I hear about all the things which are bad for you but did you hear that fruit is bad? This is utterly ridiculous and probably stems from the sugar content of fruit. This is naturally occurring sugar which makes them taste so good, and not the same as the synthetically processed cane sugar. So lets get past this one and move on with your weight loss program, people.
3. Not Exercising. Exercise is usually the first thing people think of when losing weight. The fact is, this is not as important as what you eat when losing weight, exercise is proven to improve a whole lot of things physically for you, such as flexibility, heart, muscles, mind, sleep, just to name a few. And yes, it will only help you to drop those pesky pounds. So if you think you can get by without exercise, think again!
4. Drinking Calories. This is one of the least thought about and dumbest things people do to sabotage their weight loss is to drink their calories. Stay away from high calorie soft drinks, sodas, juices, coffee, teas, alcohol, etc. Here's a hint for the best thing to do in this case: drink water...and lots of it. Its very good for you and calorie-free. It also helps flush toxins out of the body which is one of the main causes of weight gain. Water: it does the body good!
5. No Education About Weight Loss. Knowledge is power. If you dont know why you are even trying to lose weight, why you are over weight to begin with, or what battle plan you need to take and why, then its no wonder you dont lose any pounds. Before you even start, visit a doctor if you need to and talk it over with him or her, or do some research on your own diet habits and what it is doing to your body.
I guarantee you this will motivate you to get rid of that extra weight and you will be a lot smarter for it, which in turn, leads to keeping it off for good. You'll even be able to advise some of your friends who are over weight from successful experience!
