How to Break Free
7 Habits Sabotaging Your Weight Loss
Do you feel stuck in a frustrating cycle of endless diets and workouts, only to see little to no results? You’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling confused and defeated, but I’m always amazed by how quickly they shed those stubborn pounds once they ditch a few sneaky habits.
If you’re ready to rev up your metabolism and hit your ideal weight, it’s time to steer clear of these seven habits:
1. Skipping Breakfast
Skipping breakfast may seem harmless or even helpful for weight loss, but it often backfires. It sends your body on a blood sugar rollercoaster, increasing cravings for comfort foods later in the day. Instead, fuel your morning with a balanced, easy-to-digest meal that includes all macronutrients for steady energy.
2. Staying Low-Carb or Low-Calorie for Too Long
Drastically cutting calories or carbs forces your metabolism to slow down. While these approaches may offer short-term results, your body needs a solid calorie baseline to function well. Instead of starving yourself, maintain an active lifestyle to burn excess calories.
3. Pushing Through Vigorous Workouts During the Luteal Phase
The fitness industry often promotes a “go hard or go home” mentality, but it doesn’t account for women’s hormonal phases. Overexerting yourself during your luteal phase can lead to fatigue and hinder progress. Learn to exercise in sync with your cycle for a fit, toned, and energized body.
4. Staying on Your Phone Late at Night
Unwinding with your phone might feel relaxing, but it increases cortisol levels, disrupting your sleep and weight loss goals. Set boundaries around phone usage—tuck it away after dinner, stretch, breathe, and focus on quality sleep instead.
5. Negative Self-Talk
Your body hears every word you say. Negative self-talk impacts your well-being and weight loss efforts. Replace criticism with self-love. Spend five minutes each day in front of a mirror, connecting with your soul, and speaking kind, affirming words to yourself.
6. Drinking Fruit Juices
Even fresh juices with greens can spike blood sugar because they lack fiber. If you’re aiming for stable energy and better insulin sensitivity, stick to whole fruits or choose savory snacks.
7. Snacking on Sugary Treats
While healthier snacks like bliss balls or bars are better than candy, they should be occasional treats, not daily habits. For regular snacking, opt for nutrient-dense options like fruits, nuts, hummus, or veggie sticks.
