⚖️ 5 Mistakes People Make When Trying to Lose Weight

Losing weight can feel frustrating — but most people don’t fail because they’re lazy. They fail because they’re following the wrong approach.

Here are five common mistakes we see at DScott’s FitCamp — and how to fix them.

1️⃣ Too Much Cardio

Endless cardio burns calories but can also burn away muscle, slowing your metabolism.

✅ Fix: Mix in strength training and short bursts of high-intensity work.

2️⃣ Eating Too Little

Starving yourself might cause quick weight loss — but it also kills energy and stalls progress.

✅ Fix: Fuel your body properly. You can’t train hard on empty.

3️⃣ Skipping Strength Work

If you want a toned look, you need muscle. Cardio alone won’t sculpt your body.

✅ Fix: Focus on resistance training 3–4 days a week.

4️⃣ Expecting Fast Results

Quick fixes fade fast. Sustainable change takes patience and consistency.

✅ Fix: Stay committed, track your progress, and trust the process.

5️⃣ Going It Alone

Accountability changes everything. Support keeps you consistent.

✅ Fix: Join a community like DScott’s FitCamp — where guidance, structure, and motivation come built in.
