Four Major Metabolic Mistakes

Certain common practices can severely hinder metabolism and fat loss, including eating less, excessive cardio, taking fat burners, and skipping meals. Many people mistakenly believe that cutting calories and increasing cardio are effective strategies for weight loss, but these actions often lead to metabolic slowdown. For instance, when calorie intake is significantly reduced, the body adapts by slowing the metabolism, making it harder to burn calories. Additionally, relying on fat burners can provide only temporary results, usually through appetite suppression, leading to rebound weight gain when these supplements are stopped.
