5 more reasons why your not losing weight

You still think there must be other reasons for your body weight? I’ve figured out something that may make you feel better. Haha. But trust me its true :) What else can you do to shed those weights?



1. You still haven’t tried FASTING.
Fasting can be a great tool to break through a weight loss plateau .Fasting is not only in the month of Ramadhan guys ;) If it’s too “hard” for you, try skipping breakfast and eat a late lunch. If that feels okay, skip breakfast and lunch the next time. Just take it slow and pay attention to your hunger. Eventually, try exercising in a fasted state to maximize the metabolic advantage. If all goes well, a successful fasting tames hunger, makes it less insistent and demanding.

2. You’re eating too much.
Low-carb isn’t magic. It reins in wild hunger and tames insulin, but calories do still matter – especially once you approach your ideal weight. In fact, those last few pounds often don’t respond to the same stuff that worked so well to get you to this point. Eating rice by the spoonful and ignoring those extra oily chickens without regard for caloric content may have gotten you this far, but you’ve got to tighten things up if things aren’t working. And that’s the real test, isn’t it? If the weight isn’t coming off, something’s up – and calories may need to come down.

3. You haven’t overcome bad habits or developed good ones.
Be brutally honest with yourself. Do you engage in bad habits? If so, identify them. Make tentative, loose plans to disengage from their clutches, and tell people close to you. Make it public, so you can’t back out without losing face. You’ve also got to develop good ones. Follow roughly similar guidelines as when kicking a bad habit – identification, planning, publication – and you’ll be on your way.

4. You haven’t purged your daily meal.
Out of sight, out of mind. Out of reach, out of mouth. Keep the crappy junk food out of your reach, if not out of your house altogether. Go down the list and toss the stuff that doesn’t apply.

5. You’ve reached a healthy homeostasis.
It may be that your body has reached its “ideal” weight – its effective, genetic set point. Reaching this level is generally painless and effortless, but it won’t necessarily correspond to your desired level of leanness. Women, especially, tend to achieve healthy homeostasis at higher body fat levels. Breaking through weight level can be hard enough, but a weight level ordained by the body itself can be nearly impossible. It’s probably going to take some serious tinkering with carbs, calories, activity levels, sleep, and stress. If everything else is on point and accounted for, you may be looking at healthy homeostasis. Then, the question becomes: do you want to mess with a good thing?

Now how bout that. Feeling better already? Finally got that feeling that it is all possible?

AWESOME!

Possible 5 reasons why your not losing weight



You have worked out (so you say :P), you have followed some tough guy’s diet, and yet still those figures on the weighing scale is not moving. Same old story huh?
Do you know that efficient & healthy weight loss is not only due to the in calories, calories out concept. Nor is it solely dependent on diet and exercise. It is all - the various signals that our body receives from the environment that affect how our genes are expressed and prosper. How do we approach the issues, also our mood, our methods, our temperament, our conscious decisions and our willpower. It is establishing good habits and removes them from the bad. So let’s see some of the reason the needle is not moving.

1. You think you’re eating healthy, but aren’t.
Does your diet consist of a huge number of processed products (those foods that popped out of the factory)? Low-carbohydrate or not, you want to eat real food. Cans of diet soda, pure fibre plates in the form of noodles, loaves of 1g net carb "bread" does not make a good diet. You're just feeding an addiction and consumption of empty calories. Ignore the labels and look into what we know to be true: this crap is not food, and you should not eat it.
2. You’re under too much stress.
The stress response system is subconscious, but responds to stimuli and nothing else.Emotional stress, physical stress, financial stress, relationship stress – not much point to make these distinctions of stress, because the body does not distinguish between sources of stress.They cause the body to produce cortisol, the fight-or-flight hormone catabolized muscle worsens insulin resistance, and promotes fat storage.

3. You need to watch your carb(ohydrates) intake.
Carbs are the key, as always, especially when you’ve got weight to lose. Take care to avoid all processed food (hidden sugars). You might also try eating lots of fruit.

4. You’re adding muscle (Let’s hope so :P).
You should not get hung up on the scales so much. Those things are useful – don’t get me wrong – but they never tell the whole story, like whether or not you’re adding lean mass. The good exercises will spur fat loss, but it also promotes muscle gain and better bone density. If you’re feeling good but failing to see any improvements register on the scale’s measurements, it’s most likely extra muscle and stronger bone from resistance training:). You wouldn’t know that just from the bathroom scale. If you absolutely need objective records of your progress, some would suggest you to get a body fat percentage test or try measuring your waist.

5. You’re not active enough.
Are you Moving Frequently at a Slow Pace for three to five hours every week? Remember: the near-daily low-level (between 55-75% max heart rate) movement should be the bedrock of your fitness regimen. It’s easy to do (because every bit of movement counts) and it doesn’t dip into your glycogen reserves (making it a pure fat burner, not a sugar burner). If you’re on the low end of the spectrum, crank it up toward five weekly hours and beyond.



And that is just some of the possibilities. I’ll try to find more excuses for you why your not losing those kilograms :) Till then, feel free to ask me anything.
AWESOME!
