Mistake #3: Avoiding strength training

Fat loss that is permanent largely depends on your body composition and your diet. One of the best ways to do this is to increase muscle mass!

The more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories you will burn while exercising and at rest. It has been said that every pound of additional muscle burns approximately 60 more calories per day.

If you gained just 3 pounds of lean muscle mass, that would come out to an extra 1260 calories per week! Combine this with reducing your daily calories by 300 and you are losing approximately 1 pound per week!

Many people think that strength training will not help their fat loss efforts because of the myth that is makes you "big and bulky." This belief is a huge mistake! Unless you are eating and training specifically for huge muscles you will have nothing to worry about. If you are training for fat loss you are training to make your body smaller. It simply cannot respond by getting bigger.

Conclusion

These are just a few of the biggest fat loss mistakes that so many people make. That being said, fat loss does not have to be a struggle. You just need to take in less calories and burn more. Choosing the right foods at the right time and the proper type of exercise will help you achieve your goal fat loss results!
