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
