These are the 8 most common mistakes made when trying to lose weight

8- Underestimating the number of calories burned during exercise

There is a common misconception that exercise “supercharges” the metabolism. Although it does provide some benefits, it is not as large as you may think. Furthermore, studies suggest that persons who are overweight tend to overestimate how many calories they burn when exercising, frequently significantly. People also have a tendency to believe they are exercising more vigorously than they are. Hence, if you want to succeed, you must first understand how many calories you are burning and how severe your workouts are in order to make appropriate adjustments.
