Eating clean should reflect on the scale, but sometimes, there is much more in the guise:
· Hidden calories: portion size underestimation, healthy but calorie-dense foods
· Insulin resistance leading to increased fat storage
· Hormonal imbalances
· Slow metabolism reducing overall calorie burn
· Poor sleep quality affecting hunger hormones
· Chronic stress increasing cortisol and promoting fat accumulation
· Sedentary lifestyle despite “eating healthy”
· Gut health imbalance influencing metabolism and nutrient absorption
· Medications: for example- antidepressants, steroids, contraceptives causing weight gain
· Inconsistent diet patterns
These factors may be slowing down your weight control journey. It's important to identify and resolve with accurate care.
