Many people dream of getting rid of extra pounds and improving their physical fitness. However, the desire to lose weight quickly often leads to serious health problems.

To achieve the desired results without harming your health, try to avoid making the following mistakes.

Lots of sports

Too much exercise, especially when it comes to cardio, can be dangerous.

Experts say that everything should be done in moderation, and that overdoing it can have the opposite effect.

The safest thing to do is to start with light loads and gradually increase them. This also applies to the duration of training. Three to four training sessions per week are enough to maintain your fitness.

It's better to focus on increasing your overall activity throughout the week.

Severe calorie deficit

In an effort to lose weight, many of us begin to drastically reduce the number of calories we consume - this is bad advice and should not be done.

While a calorie deficit is indeed necessary, it should be created wisely, not only by reducing the number of calories consumed, but also by increasing physical activity.

Otherwise, the body will have difficulty coping with everyday tasks, and a person may not even have the strength to walk.

The process of losing weight is already stressful for the body, and a sharp reduction in calories will only increase this stress.
