A leading fitness author has shared the common mistakes people make when trying to lose weight, and revealed just how to tackle them. Joe Warner, 38, a training expert who has appeared on the cover of Men’s Fitness, spoke to FEMAIL and explained that too many people focus on cutting out carbohydrates, doing cardio and ditching all ‘bad’ food groups.
To make the journey more successful, he suggests eating carbohydrates around your workouts, focusing on HIIT weight training instead of going for a jog and limiting treats such as ice cream and burgers instead of cutting them out completely.
He said of his tips: ‘I constantly see people making the same eating, exercise and lifestyle mistakes, which is severely hampering their efforts to lose weight and get back in shape. ‘My myth-busting advice contains a lot of instantly-applicable advice and info that people looking for a 2020 overhaul should find hugely beneficial.’
Mistake 1: You Focus on Carbs, not Calories
Don’t cut out carbs completely: The best approach to losing weight is to time your daily carb intake around exercise or periods of activity because carbs allow you to recover from training faster, and it’s important that you are fully energized for each session
