Five Known Fat Loss Mistakes People Continue To Do

2009 July 13

Straight to the point, there are up to five different fat loss mess ups that I’ve seen men and women do everyday. Fix these mistakes now and you will lose fat.

1. Not having any support behind you

Trying to lose fat without any social support from your friends, family, trainer, etc. is not the way to go. Research has proved that with social support you will most likely be successful in burning fat. Concentrate on two people out of your social support that has be successful as well.

2. Not having a program to keep you on track

How do you approach the gym? Do you walk in thinking about where to start and what you are going to do today? You are wasting your time. A plan needs to be made so that you know what you are going to work on. Stay with the plan, now whenever you enter the gym you know exactly what is going to be done.

3. Keeping the same workout after 4 weeks

The longest you should go with one program is 4 weeks. If you have stayed with a program more than 4 weeks and if it hasn’t worked yet, it isn’t going to magically start now. Change it up more frequently. You will receive more results and have a lot more fun.

4. Diet and Nutrition

What you eat is a big factor to losing fat as well as training. Going to the gym working out like an animal will do no good if you go home and eat junk. Doing so won’t get you any results in fat loss. The food you eat is as important as your exercises. Put natural healthy foods in you stomach, 6 medium meals a day. Get a bunch of protein, fiber and vegetables in your system daily. Eat good fats, don’t touch trans fat and try to drink a gallon of water a day. Simple and effective.

5. Not knowing their limit to exercising

People ask me if doing more lifting and more cardio in their workouts would be even better, well it’s a no, a big NO. Doing so is not recommended at all. People think the more the merrier. There is a limit when you workout, you can only do so much.

Your body will breakdown to quickly from working out so much at once. Training to much and on a low calorie diet don’t go well together. This type of training will not make your engine run better or more efficiently.

Focus on your workout in quality not quantity. For many reasons stick to high quality nutrition and high quality training. The only thing that really matters is the results, not sore muscles or being exhausted after each workout, and not feeling like your lacking food. It is all about quality work and quality food for a better healthier body.
