Reasons You're Not Losing Weight

Diet Mistakes Causing Your Weight-Loss Plateau

• If youve been losing weight for many months and
  youve hit a plateau, then perhaps you just need
  to take a break.
• Up your calorie intake by a few hundred calories
  per day, sleep more and lift some weights with
  the goal of getting stronger and gaining a bit of
  muscle.
• Aim to maintain your body fat levels for 1-2
  months before you start trying to lose again.

3
Youre eating wrong foods

• If youre not losing weight, the first place you
  should be looking is the kitchen. Some people
  focus all their energy on burning off calories
  that they dont take the time to consider what
  theyre putting in as fuel.
• Avoid excess bread, sugar, and anything else
  thats processed. Look for foods that have the
  fewest ingredients on the labelif you cant
  pronounce it, its probably not something you
  want to be putting in your body.

4
You Don't Drink Enough Water

• Water helps to suppress appetite, so you're less
  likely to overeat.
• Drinking water has also been shown to boost the
  amount of calories burned by 24-30 over a period
  of 1.5 hours.
• Just how much water should I be drinking? "About
  one-half your body weight in ounces every day,
  especially if you're exercising," Dr. Smith says.

5
You Skimp on Protein

• Several studies show that high-protein diets
  result in more pounds shed, at least initially.
  Protein enhances the feeling of satiety and
  prevents your losing muscle as you lose fat.
• Eating protein at 25-30 of calories can boost
  metabolism by 80-100 calories per day and make
  you automatically eat several hundred fewer
  calories per day. It can also drastically reduce
  cravings and desire for snacking!

6
You Sit at a Desk All Day

• Working a desk job means more time spent indoors,
  less time spent moving, and too much time spent
  in hunched-over typing positions that contribute
  to a number of health issues.
• Not only do frequent work breaks help get some
  movement in during an otherwise long day at the
  desk, but they also increase productivity!

7
Youre Not Lifting Weights

• One of the most important things you can do when
  losing weight is to do some form of resistance
  training, like lifting weights.
• This can help you hold on to your precious muscle
  mass, which is often burned along with body fat
  if you are not exercising.
• Lifting weights can also help prevent metabolic
  slowdown, and make sure that what is beneath the
  fat looks good.

8
Youre Not Doing Cardio

• For some strange reason, cardio (as in running,
  jogging, swimming, etc) has gotten a bad rap in
  recent years.
• However, it is one of the most effective ways to
  improve your health. It is also very effective at
  burning belly fat.
• You can buy Manual Treadmill from SpeedFIT, if
  you dont like to go outside for running/ jogging
  / walking.

9
Youre Still Drinking Sugar

• Sugary beverages are the most fattening items in
  the food supply. Our brains dont compensate for
  the calories in them by making us eat less of
  other foods.
• Be mindful of everything you drink and reduce
  where you can.

10
Youre Not Sleeping Well

• Getting enough sleep is arguably the single most
  important thing you can do for your physical and
  mental well-being, and this includes managing
  your weight. Studies show that poor sleep is one
  of the single biggest risk factors for obesity.
• not getting enough sleep makes you feel hungrier
  and causes you to eat more food to feel
  satisfied, particularly foods with a high
  carbohydrate content a double whammy.

11
You Have a Medical Condition That is Making
Things Harder

• There are some medical conditions that can drive
  weight gain and make it much harder to lose
  weight.
• These include hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian
  syndrome (PCOS) and sleep apnea.
• If you think any of this applies to you, then
  speak to your doctor about your options.

12
Youre Addicted to Junk Food

• If you are addicted to junk food, then simply
  eating less or changing your diet can seem
  downright impossible.
• Many people who struggle with losing weight are
  simply eating too many calories, and while this
  does not mean that calories should be your main
  concern eating 500 calories of potato chips is
  not the same as eating 500 calories of vegetables
  it does mean you should be mindful of what
  youre eating, even if it is healthy.

13
Youre Drinking Too Much Alcohol

• Alcoholic beverages are notoriously high in
  calories, particularly when combined with sugary
  mixers to make our favorite cocktails. Beer,
  wine, and sugary mixed drinks and liquors are the
  worst culprits here, almost inevitably leading to
  bigger bellies when consumed regularly or in
  excess.
• If you want to enjoy the occasional drink while
  still maintaining or losing weight, stick to pure
  spirits like vodka or gin, and skip the sugary
  add-ins.
