2. Neglecting Your Fiber Intake . Do not forget your fiber intake! It is easy to leave fiber in the dust thinking it is just another carb so to be avoided. However, high fiber cells produce favorable weight loss results. You are better off eating more fiber even if it means eating a few extra carbs some of the time.

3. Thinking "Calorie-Free = Weight Loss Friendly." Another mistake you will want to avoid is thinking "calorie-free means weight loss friendly." Too many people get caught up in this trap because it would seem to make sense.
