A weight loss journey requires making informed choices regarding diet and lifestyle, along with maintaining consistency. However, unintentional mistakes can hinder progress and negate the benefits of weight loss. Aarja Bedi, a fitness coach, frequently shares valuable insights and strategies related to weight loss on her Instagram account, as noted in her bio.

On March 11, Aarja posted a video highlighting common errors that can impede weight loss efforts. An excerpt from her caption states, “Most people fail their weight loss journey before they even start... because they make these mistakes. Don’t let that be you.”

Here are the 10 mistakes you should avoid making in weight loss journey:

1. Starving yourself throughout the day and then bingeing at night: This disrupts your metabolism and complicates fat loss.

2. Engaging in excessive cardio instead of focusing on step counts: Prioritizing 10,000 to 15,000 steps daily is more effective for fat loss than solely relying on cardio.

3. Pursuing fat-burning foods rather than ensuring adequate protein intake: There is no single food that burns fat; however, protein helps you feel full and supports muscle development.

4. Consuming liquid calories (such as soda and specialty coffee): These calories accumulate quickly and do not provide satiety.

5. Adhering to a crash diet that is unsustainable: If a diet cannot be maintained long-term, it is unlikely to yield lasting results.

6. Neglecting sleep and questioning your energy levels: Insufficient sleep disrupts hunger hormones and hinders fat loss.

7. Failing to track your food intake and relying on estimation: Many individuals underestimate their actual consumption.

8. Snacking absentmindedly throughout the day: Small, unaccounted bites can lead to hundreds of extra calories.

9. Drinking alcohol every weekend and wondering about slow progress: Alcohol diminishes willpower, adds empty calories, and interferes with recovery.

10. Believing that one poor meal ruins your progress and subsequently giving up: A single meal does not determine overall success. Consistency is key.
