5 Fitness Mistakes Keeping You From Losing Belly Fat

Struggling to lose belly fat despite working out? You might be making these fitness mistakes:

🚫 Mistake #1: Only Doing Cardio

Cardio burns calories, but strength training is key to fat loss. Lift those weights, girl!

🚫 Mistake #2: Skipping Protein

Protein helps repair muscles and keeps you full longer. Aim for 0.8-1g per pound of body weight.

🚫 Mistake #3: Overtraining

More isn’t always better. Overdoing workouts raises cortisol, making belly fat harder to lose.

🚫 Mistake #4: Ignoring Sleep & Stress

High stress = high cortisol = belly fat. Prioritize 7-9 hours of sleep and de-stressing activities.

🚫 Mistake #5: Inconsistent Calorie Tracking

Guessing doesn’t work. Track your intake for at least a week to identify hidden calorie bombs.
