5 Reasons why you may not be losing weight (On the scale)
1️⃣ You may be losing body fat and gaining lean muscle.
It is common for the scale to not move for a few days/weeks after starting a program but that doesn't mean you aren't losing body fat.
⭐️You may lose 3 pounds of body fat and gain 3 pounds of muscle so the scale looks the same but the way your clothes fit and how you look in the mirror changes.
2️⃣ If you aren't tracking then you are slacking‼️
Most people how much they are eating on a daily basis which makes losing weight a much slower process.
⭐️Studies show that people who keep track of what they eat lose weight more consistently than people who do not.
3️⃣ You're not eating enough protein.
Eating protein at 25-30% of your calories can boost your metabolism by 80-100 calories per day.
⭐️ Pro tip: If you eat breakfast make sure to load up on protein. Studies show that people who eat a high protein breakfast are less hungry and have fewer cravings throughout the day.
4️⃣ You aren't lifting weights.
Strength training helps you burn fat and also is key to maintain long term fat loss.
5️⃣ You are not mindful of what you're eating.
⭐️ Try eliminating distractions while you eat, savor each bite, slow down so that you can listen to your body/brain telling you when you have had enough.
