5 Worst Dieting Mistakes

from Fitness Stuff (for normal people) Hosted by Tony and Marianna

On this episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony break down the 5 biggest dieting mistakes that keep people stuck when trying to lose fat or build muscle. They talk through why making sudden, extreme changes usually backfires, how not tracking your food can leave you guessing, and why chasing fast results slows you down long term. They also get into the trap of focusing on small details that don’t actually move the needle and how black and white thinking around food can hurt your consistency. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your progress, this episode will help you simplify the process and focus on what actually works. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All Free Calculators (Calorie, Protein, etc.)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for Fitness Stuff PREMIUM here!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ALL of our complete 12-week training programs Bonus episodes every Friday Just $5 /month ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Legion Athletics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ BOGO 50% off for your first order + 2X points on every order after that Timestamps (3:49) Mistake 1 Making sudden or massive changes (9:02) Mistake 2 Not tracking food (17:36) Mistake 3 Thinking faster not longer (23:43) Mistake 4 Little details (32:31) Mistake 5 Thinking black and white
