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!
