3. Do hours of cardio every day
3. Lift weights. Building muscle will increase your metabolism. Find a sustainable workout regimen.
4. Focus on the number on the scale
4. Focus on fat loss, not just the number on the scale, muscle gain and fat loss will change your body composition even though the scale doesn’t change. Take photos and measurements along with the scale to track progress.
5. Do 300 crunches a day to lose the fat on stomach
5. In order to lose fat, you need to burn calories and/or consume less calories than you burn. You can not spot reduce – no matter how many crunches you do, you won’t lose the fat from that area.
6. Do everything all at once – change diet, start running, go to the gym 7 days a week so I can get my results sooner
6. Changing your routine drastically never works, you’ll burn yourself out and end up quitting. Instead make small sustainable shifts in your daily habits that will last long term and get you to your goals.
7. Try that fat burner, detox, weight loss system that everyone is talking about.
7. Sure, they all might work short term, but the only way to sustainable, long term results is by making a change to your nutrition and exercise habits.
8. A new plan
8. Stop giving up. Give it time, be patient, and you will get there.
9. Rely on your willpower.

10. Follow a super strict diet.
10. Consistently sticking with a sustainable nutrition regimen will ensure you reach your goal and keep the results long term.
