This is when people focus on minutia not driving progress which can distract from the things that really matter. Examples of this include organic vs conventional foods, the glycemic index and meal timing. Total daily caloric intake and total daily protein intake will determine the majority of results when it comes to fat loss or muscle gain, so these smaller factors should be built around these main principles, not the other way around. The second mistake is when people think in “good or bad“ terms. This is so common in the mainstream media where you see the target shifting from fats being bad, to carbs being bad, to carbs being ok, but sugar is bad, whereas in reality, there are so many shades of grey to these blanket statements. Mistake number three is making sudden, drastic changes to your diet. This is really common in the new year when motivation is high and people want results right away. But rather than cutting by crash dieting, a more gradual rate of weight loss will help prevent muscle loss. When bulking, a slower approach will also prevent unwanted fat gain. Mistake number four is relying on nutrition documentaries as a legitimate source of information. This includes The Game Changers, Supersize Me, What The Health, and pretty much ANY other popular documentary you can suggest. They’re generally created by producers that already have an idea in mind that they then try to prove to you. The final mistake is focusing too much on supplements. As a beginner, I think the only supplement I’d strongly recommend is whey protein powder, using creatine and caffeine optionally to give you an extra edge. ------------------------------- Help SUPPORT the channel by: 1.
