After working with countless people on their nutrition, almost has struggled with at least 1 or 2 of these, if not all.
Below are the top 10 mistakes I’ve seen people make, and how to resolve them.
Below are the top 10 mistakes I’ve seen people make, and how to resolve them.
1. Focusing on ONLY calories
Yes, calories matter. But when you’re focusing ONLY on calories, you will most likely end up missing out on a lot of nutrients.
Focus on whole, nutrient dense foods, in the right portions.

2. Worrying about supplements before diet
People are constantly worrying about which magic supplement they can take before they have the fundamentals down.
Yes, supplements can be very helpful, but if your diet is poor, you shouldn’t be focused on supplements.

3. Trying restrictive, fad diets
In today’s day & age, people are “diet hopping” from one fad diet to the next, rarely ever sustaining any of them.
You don’t need to cut out entire food groups to be healthy; you need a proper PLAN in place.

4. Not having a plan
Going into the week without a plan of attack is a recipe for disaster.
Scrambling to come up with a healthy meal at the last minute increases the chance of making a poor decision, as well as causing more stress.

Take an hour or 2 on the weekend to meal prep, or at least plan your meals.
5. Eating boring, bland food
It’s simple—if you’re not enjoying the food you’re eating, it’ll be tough to sustain your diet for the long term.

6. Stressing about every little detail
Cortisol (the stress hormone) is linked to weight gain. Worrying about every little detail is no way to live.
Focus on the big picture, and if you eat something “bad”, forget about it and move on. Feeling guilty only makes things worse.

7. Eating “low calorie” or “gluten free” or “sugar free” products
Eating products rather than single ingredient, whole foods is no way to nourish your body
Not only are they lacking nutrients, they usually contain harmful ingredients worse than the thing they’re trying to avoid

8. Not eating enough protein
Due to the thermic effect of eating food, you burn more calories digesting protein than carbs and fat
Protein also promotes muscle growth/retention, and the more muscle you have the more calories you burn each day

Aim to eat about .8-1g of protein per lb of bodyweight
9. Eating too little
Being in a huge calorie deficit is also a recipe for disaster. This places large amounts of stress on the body, creates nutrient deficiencies, and is not sustainable
Be in a slight calorie deficit, so you slowly but surely lose weight, and keep it off
