let's move to the weight loss mistakes
we're making first mistake you are
making is you're trying to outrun a bad
diet unless you're an athlete it doesn't
matter how many times you go to the gym
you've probably consumed way more
calories than you actually burn it when
you consume bad type of foods junk foods
garbage foods you won't see result it
doesn't matter how much a workout you
gonna actually get so demotivated rule
to live by is 80% diet 20% exercise
please remember exercise sustains weight
loss but a healthy diet is what drives
it mistake number two is you're only
doing cardio you may lose weight faster
doing cardio the problem is it's the
wrong kind of weight cardio alone burns
both fat and muscle so if you do want to
see changes in your body you have to
incorporate strength training into your
exercise routine where training is
basically you're building your lean
muscle mass which elevates your
metabolism and actually helps you with
burning fat even when you're not
exercising so get off the treadmill and
go pick up those weights mistake number
three is you're not drinking enough
water and I don't care if you're trying
to lose weight if you're trying to be
healthy if you're trying to survive as a
human you need to drink water
our body is composed of sixty percent
water and that helps with our digestion
it helps with our circulation it helps
with so much drinking water helps to
boost your metabolism and helps your
body to get rid of waste if you consume
the proper amount of water your body
won't retain water so you're gonna lose
that water way that a lot of people
carry so drinking water is super super
important mistake number four is that
you're not eating enough a lot of us
have this idea that if we stop eating
we're gonna lose weight the problem is
when you start starving your body it
goes into this cannibalizing mode it
starts retaining everything holds on to
everything because it scares to starve
itself if you don't supply your body
with the right amount of calories you're
actually sabotaging your weight-loss
goal making sure that we consume the
right amount of calorie
and the right foods is what's going to
make sure that our body works properly
doesn't retain anything and everything's
moving like it should mistake number
five is not eating breakfast and hold up
I know that there's people that just
like don't feel this whole idea of
breakfast in the morning like eating the
minute they wake up which you shouldn't
by the way you should drink a glass of
water with some lemon maybe waited like
half an hour then either are a lot of
scientific studies out there trying to
debunk the whole idea that eating
breakfast will help you lose weight
others say that breakfast does help you
lose weight for me it's very simple when
I give my body something to eat that is
good that is filling enough I feel like
I'm getting energy and that energy
translate into me actually going and
doing things that go into the gym I'm
getting to my workout you don't have to
actually have like a big huge meal even
having like a little bit of yogurt with
some fruits even a smoothie I just to
kind of jumpstart your energy in the
morning you are keeping your blood sugar
stable you'll notice that throughout the
day you'll actually opt for better
choices with food for lunch and for
snacks and you won't have any blood
sugar crash for me that's a good enough
reason to eat something in the morning
it can even be like nuts and a fruit
that's it don't eat pancakes with maple
syrup you don't have to make yourself an
omelet just like you know the response
on mistake number six and this is
something that is a huge huge no-no in
my house drinking empty calories alcohol
on occasions which is like well you have
to enjoy life soda all these like sugar
pad juices none of that is allowed in
this house pop or soda is literally like
eating spoonful of sugar it has so many
discussing ingredients if there's
literally zero nutrition in there and
you are just putting your body in like
this sugar crazed mode and it actually
makes you get addicted to it if you are
addicted to that fizz and you want
something bubbly you can have a
carbonated water and just add a little
bit
juice in there add a little squeeze of
lemon add a little fruit it's time to
say bye-bye to empty calories mistake on
number seven is you are not educated
about portion sizes I personally don't
count calories and I usually don't
recommend people to count calories and
it's just like not a sustainable
lifestyle learning what a proper portion
size is so important for you and it will
really make eating healthy and better
and right into an easier and accessible
lifestyle do you see the portion sizes
we get when we go to restaurant or even
when we make food at home and put it on
our plate it's ridiculous I think that
it's very important for us to learn how
much and what we should consume and I
have a few little hacks that I'm gonna
share with you that will make it easier
for you to eat healthier hack number one
is the hand guide for portion sizes it's
really easy to measure the proper
portion size for you for protein for
carb for fat using your hand will really
show you how much you should have of
that specific food hack number two I
always mention is smaller plates it's a
visual and psychological thing a lot of
us are using huge plates and we actually
have to put so much more food to signal
to our brain that this will fill us up
when you put a little portion on a big
plate it actually tells your brain that
this is not enough I have to go get more
that's what we want to avoid so using
smaller plates is totally a game changer
if you put the same amount of food on a
small plate or a big plate you will see
how filling your meal actually is and
then hack number three is learning how
your plate should look like you want to
make sure that half of that plate is
greens as salad as vegetables and the
other one will be your starch and your
protein this is a great kind of rule of
thumb to follow and just keep in mind so
when you are in a buffet when you are in
restaurants when you are an event you
know what will energize you and supply
you with enough nutrients mistake number
eight is you are eating out a lot and
this is by no means me saying don't eat
out we live in a society and culture
where this is something that we do as
part of socializing the problem is when
we eat out you don't know how much
how many sauces how much all these
additives they put in your meal to make
it taste delicious making sure that you
are also eating at home as much as you
can will really help to monitor and
control of what you put into your body
mistake number nine is you are always
looking for a quick fix there are so
many diets that are coming out on a
daily basis kedo paleo vegan there's so
much information out there I'm trying to
adapt things that are sustainable into
my lifestyle something that I was doing
let's say after having a baby
to get back into shape I was doing the
Paleo diet but instead of focusing so
much on meat protein and animal protein
I did the Paleo diet with focus on
plant-based diet I tried to really
follow on a daily basis a diet of 60%
plant-based and that 40% of animal
products this is something that I've
been experimenting trying out seeing
what works for my body and that's the
thing our bodies are so different so
learn what works for you see things that
you can actually incorporate on a daily
basis rather than putting yourself
through suffering of you know eating
like the vogue diet from the 70s that
they used to recommend it's called the
wine and eggs just to give you an
example of what women used to follow
breakfast was one hard-boiled egg one
glass of white wine and black coffee
lunch was still eggs hard-boiled two
glasses of white wine and one black
coffee and this is the reason why you
can't follow every diet that goes out
there to the market because you will die
obviously we survived on a diet always
remember that the base of it all is
whole food healthy food good fats what
we're trying to achieve is to nourish
our body not to deprive it and the last
mistake is not planning ahead I'm not
saying you guys need to go and do meal
prep every week but if you are failing
to plan you're planning to fail on a
Sunday get together with your partner
with your kids and just make small
batches of things that you'll actually
eat if it's proteins if it's steamed
vegetables having them in the fridge
will just make it more easier for you to
reach out for those things and to make
sure that you're eating good food if
it's possible for you pack lunch for
work to make
that I exercise enough I booked my
classes on the weekend for the rest of
the week I pay for them so I want to
make sure that I am out there I'm also
making plans with friends to go to
different classes and try out different
workouts that keeps me accountable and
make sure that I actually show up and
don't cancel and when you are grocery
shopping make sure that you have the
healthy foods and healthy snacks that
you can reach out to you are setting
yourself for success this is it you guys
the ten way cos mistake holding you back
from a healthy and happy lifestyle I
hope you guys learned something new let
me know if you have any hacks or any
tips or any mistakes that you feel like
a lot of people do and they need to stop
while reading the comments we want to
know share your wisdom thank you guys so
much watching as you
