If you’re trying to lose weight and feel like nothing is working… you’re not alone.
As a wellness coach, I talk to so many people who are super motivated—but still not seeing the results they want.
Let’s go through the Top 10 Weight Loss Mistakes I’ve seen during my journey in wellness and fitness, and how to avoid them.
Skipping breakfast or dinner doesn’t help. Your body holds onto fat when it feels starved.
👉 What to do: Eat small, balanced meals every 2–3 hours. Focus on protein + fiber + healthy fats.
Doing workouts but still eating fried or packed junk food? That won't work!
👉 What to do: Weight loss = 80% nutrition, 20% exercise, 100% mindset. Focus on all three.
Generic diets may not suit your body type or routine.
👉 What to do: Get a custom plan. You can join the Health Mentor program for guidance.
Even healthy foods like almonds or granola can add too many calories if eaten in excess.
👉 What to do: Control portions—even for healthy snacks.
Many feel hungry when they’re actually just dehydrated.
👉 What to do: Drink 3–4 liters of water daily. Keep a bottle nearby. Set reminders if needed.
Lack of sleep increases hunger hormones and leads to cravings.
👉 What to do: Sleep 7–8 hours a night to let your body function properly.
Your weight can fluctuate daily due to water or hormones. Don't panic!
👉 What to do: Weigh yourself once a week, at the same time and conditions.
Cardio burns calories, but strength training builds muscle which burns fat—even at rest!
👉 What to do: Add strength or resistance workouts 2–3 times per week.
Clean eating all week, then cheat on weekends? That ruins progress.
👉 What to do: Enjoy treats in moderation. Don’t overdo it. Balance is the key.
Doing it alone can be hard. That’s why many people give up.
👉 What to do: Join a fitness group, a coach, or a mentor like Health Mentor’s Club.
I’ve seen clients lose 5–10 kg just by fixing a few of these habits. And with the right support, it becomes fun—not frustrating.
