The biggest weight loss mistakes are committed again and again by people all the time.
Let me dispel some myths for you and tell you these mistakes so you can avoid them for yourself.
Mistake 1 - Using Supplements Supplements do not work to lose weight permanently and here's why.
Most supplements don't work at all.
Some of them do but only in limited amounts.
All these supplements are intended to raise your metabolism so that you burn more energy.
But most people who take them also get very hungry and they end up eating more to compensate.
End result: no weight loss.
Mistake 2 - Thinking Exercise Is Essential To be fair, this is not the fault of those who make this mistake.
It is the fault of the mass media and those who have vested interests in the fitness industry.
You do not need to do any exercise to lose weight.
Exercise will only help to accelerate your weight losses but they usually have the reverse effect because the shock of vigorous exercise makes many people crack and go back to their old ways.
Mistake 3 - Fad Diets There is nothing wrong with a well thought out and structured weight loss program.
But fad diets are just that - fads.
Fad diets involve you doing all sorts of crazy things in the belief that it will help you to lose weight.
My advice to you is to ignore fad diets.
The fact that they come in and out of fashion so often should tell you that they are not respectable weight loss methods.
