Didn't lose weight this week?
Here are a few reasons why your progress may have stalled:

1. You haven't opened you bowels... has have you gone a day or more since you last opened your bowels? This may be a reason why that number on the scales hasn't gone down.
2. You have gained muscle and lost fat mass. There are other indicators to signal that this has happened, do your clothes feel looser or is your waist a little smaller?
3. You weighed yourself after a meal, resulting in a temporary weight increase
4. You have eaten a high salt meal. Sodium binds to water and results in retention in your body with a higher scale number.

Do I need to cut carbs to lose weight?

Short answer: No, you don’t have to cut carbs to lose weight.
Carbs have been unfairly blamed for weight gain, but the truth is:
It’s about your overall energy balance — not one food group.

You can lose weight while still enjoying bread, pasta, rice, and fruit.

Cutting carbs may lead to quick water weight loss, but it’s not always fat loss — and it’s often not sustainable long-term.

Carbs give you energy, support your brain function, and help with recovery if you're exercising , the key is choosing the right types and portion sizes:
🍠 Wholegrains
🥔 Veggies
🍓 Fruit
🍚 Legumes

The best diet is one you can stick to — and for many people, that includes carbs.

If you’re trying to lose weight, it’s more effective to focus on:
Balanced meals
Protein and fibre
Managing portions
Moving your body
Consistency over perfection
