10 reasons why you might not be losing weight âŹď¸
1. If youâre not planning your meals ahead or waiting until the end of the day to track, youâre already setting yourself up for failure. Know what your next meal is and the macro contents so you know youâll stay on track.
2. If youâre not getting enough water, youâre slowing your metabolism down.
3. The other 23 hours in the day count just as much as the 1 youâre spending in the gym. Donât spend the rest of the day sitting down- every 30 minutes, get up and move for 3 minutes.
4. Do not follow the advice of random people who are not educated in this industry. Would you trust a random person who didnât go to cosmetology school to give you a haircut or color? Or a person without a medical degree to diagnose you?
5. Cardio should not be your priority unless youâre training for something specific like a marathon. Prioritize resistance training whether youâre trying to lose, gain, or maintain.
6. If your total daily calories exceeds 35% from fat sources, this will slow your metabolism way down and prevent any fat loss.
7. Donât drink your calories. Alcohol slows your metabolism, so moderation is super important.
8. Not getting enough sleep will negatively affect your muscle recovery and growth.
9. If your goal is to gain, lose, or maintain- you still need to keep a high protein diet. Not getting enough protein will keep you hungry. If you want to lose the fat and gain muscle, hit your protein goal.
10. You must fuel your body throughout the day. Starving yourself will only slow your metabolism since it wonât be working as hard. Donât skip out on meals.
