5. Focusing on Food Alone

Many people with health goals tend to put their razor-focus on food and food alone. Let me tell you this, that’s not enough to help you reach what you set out to achieve. You need to be thinking about the bigger picture because being healthy or losing weight involves a lot more than just diet.

You need to take a minute every day to check in with yourself. Ask yourself if you’re sleeping well, if you’re feeling content with yourself, if you’re dealing well with stress, if you have enough physical activity, etc. The last of those is particularly important, not just for your physical health, but also for your mental health as well. If you find that any of you’re answers are lacking, take the steps needed to resolve the issue.
