Why Are You Not Losing Weight

Why are you not losing weight?

• Too Many Rules
• Try not to be so strict on yourself to the point where you are feeling deprived
• For example, instead of trying to cut out all sugar, use natural sources to satisfy that sweet tooth
• Cheat Days
• Giving yourself an entire cheat day can trigger getting off track and derailing your healthy habits
• Try giving yourself a treat meal rather than an entire day so the cheats don't spiral out of control
• Remember that alcohol calories count, so try cutting your alcohol consumption in half
• Not Eating Enough
• Rather than focusing on counting calories and trying to reduce calories
• Focus on choosing high-quality, nutrient-dense options over high-sugar foods and you will naturally eat fewer calories without sacrificing nutrients
• Thinking Short Term
• Don't fall for trendy or fad diets that allow you to lose a lot of weight at one time
• Stick to eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and healthy fats
• Not Tracking Intake
• Tracking your food intake will keep you honest and give a realistic picture of your nutrition and dietary habits
• Overeating Healthy Foods
• Even though foods may be healthy, like nuts, oils and fruits, the calorie and fat content still counts
• Measure out amounts of food so you do not end up overeating
