Reasons why you Aren’t Losing Weight and What you Can Do About It

10 June 2022 by Eileen

If you are not losing weight but you just don’t know why then you are certainly not alone. So many people are in the same situation as you, but if you try and be proactive then it is possible for you to turn things around. If you want to find out more then take a look below.

Reasons why you Aren’t Losing Weight- and What you Can Do About It

You’re Overestimating

If you overestimate your muscle weight, then this can be really bad for your weight loss routine. It may be that you are actually losing fat, but that you are underestimating how much muscle you are gaining. If you are strength training really hard, then this is a solid explanation. You have to remember that muscle has a similar density to water, but fat has a much higher density. If you are working solidly to try and cut down on your fat, you may be gaining muscle at a faster rate than you realise. If you want to motivate yourself when it comes to the gym, then Gym King have a lot of good solutions available.

You’re Eating Less

If you eat less calories than you expend, then it is entirely possible for you to lose around 10% of your body weight just through dieting. If you do want to try and lose more than this, then you cannot keep on cutting calories. You have to put in the work to try and change the type of food that you are eating. Focus more on the calories that you are eating and the quality, as opposed to the quantity. You have to remember that food digests very differently in your body and that sometimes it is faster, and sometimes it is slower. Sugary foods tend to digest very quickly and this can leave you feeling hungry sooner rather than later. In conjunction with making dietary improvements, considering approaches like IV hydration therapy could provide an added boost to your well-being. Intravenous hydration therapy offers a direct and efficient way to restore vital nutrients and fluids, helping to cleanse your system and support your body’s natural functions as you work towards a healthier lifestyle. By being mindful of this, you can be sure to make better decisions overall.

You’re Not Monitoring What You Eat

You have to remember that it is human nature to underestimate any bad decisions while also putting a great deal of emphasis on good ones. In other words, you may be likely to pat yourself on the back if you eat a salad on a Tuesday, but you may overlook the fact that you went for takeout on Friday after a hard day at work. Tracking the calories that you eat in a way that is visible and tangible will help you out quite a lot here. Keeping a food journal can help you out too, so be mindful of this.

You’re Not Eating Enough Protein

Protein comes with a lot of benefits. You may even find that you eat less over time, and it can also help you to build muscle. That being said, not all protein is equal. Plant-based protein contains way less fat when compared to animal-based protein, and if you can keep this in mind, then you will soon find that it is easier than ever for you to get the best result out of your healthy eating routine.
