1. Stressing too much over weighing scale
There are many parameters to check how healthy you are & your weight is just one of them.
Checking your weight every day is unnecessary. Don't stress over your weight but consider how energetic, focused, & calm you're feeling.

2. Going into an excessive calorie deficit
200-300 calorie deficit is a good range to start with. If you're eating too fewer calories or below your BMR then your metabolism, muscle mass, and mental health, all are gonna take a hit. Be in a Calorie deficit but don't overkill it.

3. Cutting carbs and healthy fats
Carbs are not our enemies. We have just been overeating them. Similarly, you need healthy fats to get lasting energy as well as fat-soluble nutrients from your food. Never quit on any macro during weight loss. Follow a balanced diet

4. Not eating enough protein
I can't stress this enough. Protein is the single most important macro to keep you fit, healthy, and satiated. From muscle recovery to satiation, it has countless benefits. Aim to eat 1-1.5g protein per kg of body weight daily.

5. Low-fat snacks
Clever marketing has fooled every one of us at some point. A lot of low-fat or low-carb snacks in the market are actually not as low in carbs or fat as they claim to be. Always read the nutrition label for per-serving calories and macros before you buy them.

6. Not eating mindfully
Eating even when you're not hungry, eating at any time of the day without any schedule, and eating while watching TV shows or Netflix can be very damaging to your health. Give your food the respect it deserves. Eat mindfully

7. Avoiding Weight Training
"Can't I just do cardio and lose weight?" The answer is you can but you shouldn't. More important than your weight are your strength levels, stamina, heart health, and bone health. Do your cardio but don't miss out on weight training either.

8. Not prioritizing NEAT
Non Exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is a fancy term for all non-exercise physical activities you do daily. Taking stairs instead of a lift, doing some chores yourself, and being active throughout the day are great for burning calories.

9. Never cheating
Cheat meals are just as important as your regular diet. If you have decided to have 0 cheat meals ever then good luck with that. Most people who do that quit the diet itself after a few weeks. Make your diet healthy and also sustainable.

10. Drinking your calories
Sugary soft drinks are neither satiating nor nutritious. It's empty calories with no benefits. Choose sugar-free fruit smoothies, whey protein shakes, and coffee over soft drinks.
