5 Reasons Why You May Not Be Losing Weight
It can be frustrating if you're trying to lose weight and not seeing the results you want.
It's completely normal to have a week where your progress isn't as much as you'd hoped. But if that continues, there could be a reason.
Here are the top five reasons why you might not be seeing the results you want:
1. You’re eating too many calories
Awareness of your eating habits is the first important step if you are trying to lose weight. People often overestimate their calorie intake for a number of reasons, could from false advertising (does “no calories” really mean zilch?!), eating amnesia (those munchies have added up without you realising it), and lastly, when you don’t really keep track. Understandable, yes, but awareness goes a long way.
2. You're not eating the right foods.
Even if you're eating enough calories, you might not lose weight if you're not eating the right foods. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of lean protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates is essential. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and high-fat snacks. Instead, focus on eating whole foods that will give your body the necessary nutrients to function correctly.
3. You're not drinking enough water
Skimping on drinking water can cause water retention or edema in your body, which may lead to temporary weight gain. One universal beauty secret? Drink water. Lots of it. Studies show that drinking 2 to 4 litres of water daily contributes to healthier skin (who doesn’t want that?), improved digestion, improved fat metabolism, and reduction in fatigue. Water still rules.
4. You're stressed
Stress can have a significant impact on your weight loss efforts. When you're stressed, your body produces a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is the "stress hormone" because it's released when you're under stress. Cortisol can lead to increased appetite and cravings for unhealthy foods. It can also make it harder for your body to burn fat. If you're stressed, try relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation.
5. You’re not getting enough sleep.
Just as when you’re stressed, the lack of sleep causes your body to produce cortisol to regulate stress. You tend to stock up on caffeine, sugar, and larger portions of food to keep you awake and alert during the day. This can lead to weight gain and an increase in your body mass index (BMI)
