I want to add two more mistakes that I think are just too prevalent:
1. You don't eat enough fat. Some fats are essential, just like protein, for building your body's tissues. If you try to cut fat out of your diet, you can really damage your health, throwing your body out of balance and often increasing your cravings for food so it can be hard to control your total caloric intake.
2. You focus on calories but don't make the distinction between the quality of the foods you're eating, loading up on processed foods. Rather than counting calories it would be better to simply cut out processed foods from your diet. If you limit yourself to mostly eating whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, and natural meat, fish, and dairy, you're unlikely to eat too much. People become obese primarily because of the refined carbs (starch and sugar) in processed foods. Cut these foods out and it'll be much easier to maintain a healthy weight.
