There should be no mistake, unless you have a proper eating plan you will not see maximum results from your weight lifting programs.
In fact, what you eat could account for as much as 80% of the results you get from any fitness program. Neglecting your diet is a huge mistake. You’ll just end up working harder to get results that you could’ve gotten a lot easier had you not ignored your diet.
Let me give some examples. Let’s say your goal is to build muscle mass but not put on weight in the form of fat. Here’s where diet comes into play. In order to build muscle you need extra calories. So if you’re not eating enough calories in the first place you’re limiting the effectiveness of your weight training.
But, remember you want to gain muscle, not put on fat. This means you’ll need to focus on good fats, complex carbs, and of course additional protein in the right proportions. If you just increase the amount of food and calories you eat, you may end getting to many carbs and to little protein or the other way around. That will increase your chances of putting on fat instead of muscle.
Now, if you want to get lean and cut then you need to reduce your calories by eating less, burning more calories through exercise, or both. But keep in mind, especially if you’re a man, that reducing your calories below 2000 a day may end up reducing your testosterone and muscle.
Weight lifting programs without a proper diet, or a good diet without exercise, isn’t as effective as when you combine the two.

Anyone serious about losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle needs to keep a proper diet. A good way to start is to use a calorie counter to get a gauge as to what you need to change in your diet.
