Mistake #1: Skipping Meals (especially breakfast):

Skipping meals can slow down your metabolism and lead to overeating later in the day. The solution? Eat regular meals and snacks throughout the day.

Mistake #2: Not having balanced meals

Instead of restricting, focus on creating balanced meals with a good mix of lean protein, whole grain carbs, and healthy fats. This will help stabilize your blood sugar levels, reduce cravings, keep you fuller for longer and provide sustained energy throughout the day.

Mistake #3: Not Drinking Enough Water

Our bodies can often mistake thirst for hunger. With 60% of our bodies being made of water, it only makes sense that proper hydration is key for optimal function. So, sip that water regularly throughout the day!

Mistake #4: Ignoring Portion Sizes

Even too much healthy food can impede weight loss. Mindful eating is the answer. Listen to your body, be aware of your portions, and stop eating when you are satisfied.

Mistake #5: Lack of Sleep

Poor sleep can disrupt appetite hormones, leading to increased cravings. We should prioritise 7-9 hours of quality sleep each to support your weight loss journey.

Don't overcomplicate it. Prioritize 3 balanced meals a day, drink an extra glass of water, stop eating when you are full and get to bed 30 minutes earlier. Remember, consistency is the KEY. Small, consistent changes over time lead to big results!
