FATAL FAT LOSS MISTAKES: THE HIDDEN REASONS YOU’RE NOT LOSING BODY FAT | EP. 183
On this week’s episode of the CHASING CLARITY HEALTH & FITNESS PODCAST, I’m breaking down the fatal fat loss mistakes that stall progress, slow results, and keep you stuck spinning your wheels.
These are the blind spots that make so many dieters think their metabolism is broken, when in reality, it’s their execution, tracking, or awareness that needs refining.
We’ll cover the most common mistakes I see in both research and real-world coaching, and more importantly, how to fix each one so you can finally start seeing sustainable fat loss results.
HERE’S WHAT WE COVER:
️MISTAKE #1: INCONSISTENT EXECUTION OF THE DIET / LACK OF ADHERENCE
️MISTAKE #2: MISESTIMATING CALORIE INTAKE & THINKING YOU’RE IN A LARGER DEFICIT THAN YOU ARE
️MISTAKE #3: TRACKING BLIND SPOTS- UNTRACKED BITES, LICKS, TASTES & “CALORIE AMNESIA”
• The Power of Grazing & BLTs
• The Weekend Effect
• Restaurant Meals & “Zero-Calorie” Foods
• Common Tracking Mistakes I See as a Coach
• Solutions: How to Eliminate Blind Spots
️MISTAKE #4: CHASING WEIGHT LOSS ON THE SCALE RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON FAT LOSS & MUSCLE PRESERVATION
️MISTAKE #5: OVERESTIMATING CALORIES BURNED THROUGH EXERCISE
️MISTAKE #6: NOT TRACKING STEPS & NOT ACCOUNTING FOR DROPS IN NEAT
• Why Step Tracking Matters
