👎 Focusing on carbs instead of calories: Weight loss is about creating a calorie deficit, not restricting a specific macronutrient. Studies have shown that high-carb (low-fat) diets are just as effective as low-carb (high-fat) diets when calories and protein are matched.

🙅‍♂️ Mistaking moderation for restriction: Viewing certain foods as "off-limits" can lead to anxiety and episodes of overeating. It's entirely possible to include your favorite snacks in moderation without derailing your progress.

🏋️‍♂️ Prioritizing cardio over strength training: Avoiding weightlifting can result in losing muscle mass along with fat, making fat loss less efficient. Strength training is essential for preserving muscle during weight loss.

❗️ Not celebrating small achievements: Fat loss takes time. Embrace the journey and celebrate small wins, like eating more veggies, cooking better, moving more, and organizing meals. These achievements are key to building long-lasting healthy habits.

🥩 Not prioritizing protein: Protein is crucial for muscle retention and development during weight loss. It also regulates appetite by suppressing ghrelin (the "hunger hormone"). Aim for 1.6-2.2 g/kg of protein per day if you're engaging in strength training.
