Not losing weight?
Are you having trouble losing weight? There are many factors that can contribute to difficulty losing weight.
• You eat too many calorie dense foods.
• You don’t track your intake.
• You take off Friday-Monday.
• You overestimate what you burn.
• You don’t eat enough nutrient dense foods.
• You eat extra because you exercised.
• You underestimate your portions of food.
• You underestimate calories consumed from alcohol.
• You order in too much.
Here are some tips that may help you kick-start your weight loss journey:
1. Start with small changes: Rather than making drastic changes to your diet or exercise routine all at once, start with small changes that you can maintain consistently. This could include eating more fruits and vegetables, cutting back on sugary drinks, or taking a short walk each day.
2. Keep track of what you eat: Keeping a food diary or using a food tracking app can help you identify areas where you may be consuming too many calories or not getting enough of certain nutrients.
3. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help you feel full and prevent overeating. Aim for at least eight glasses of water per day.
4. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones that control hunger and metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
5. Incorporate strength training: Building muscle can help boost your metabolism and burn more calories even when you’re not exercising. Try incorporating strength training exercises into your routine a few times per week.
Remember, weight loss is a journey, and it may take time to see results. Be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories along the way.
