Diet Mistake #6:

Cutting back all fats

Fats are essential for our health. Although you should limit your intake of saturated animal fats and trans fat, which have adverse effects on the heart, you shouldn't avoid all fats completely. Take your fat sources from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats instead.

Diet Mistake #7:

Not consuming sufficient calories

Be sure that you're eating enough to fuel your activities. Otherwise, your body will start to lose lean body mass and slow its metabolism, making it even more difficult to lose weight.

Diet Mistake #8:

Thinking exercise is a free pass to pig out

Whether you train occasionally or often, you should plan a healthy diet around your workout regimen. But always watch what you eat or you'll be training for nothing.
