3 Surprising Reasons You’re Not Losing Weight

Losing weight is something many of us are actively aspiring toward the day in and day out. But it’s harder than it seems; there’s a lot more than calories in and calories out, or just eliminating certain foods and working out.

It’s a major mental struggle along with a physical challenge too, and there could be several reasons why you’re not seeing a difference on the scale or feeling your clothes get looser.

You may be struggling to see a meaningful change for some of the following reasons:

You’re skimping out on the right foods

When you’re trying to lose weight, the quality of food matters just as much, if not more, than the quantity. It will make a marginal difference when you’re in a calorie deficit, but it’s more effective when you’re eating the right foods. Have more protein, eat more whole foods, have healthier, more nutritious alternatives, and lay off fried and processed foods, as well as excessively sugary and salty foods when you’re trying to cut back.

You’re not hydrating enough every day

Another surprising reason you might be struggling could be that you’re not hydrating enough. You should be drinking sufficient water if you want to see proper weight loss and fat burning effects because, without that, your body will also hold on to water weight to prevent dehydration. Plus, your body flushes out fat through fluids, including urine and sweat, and without enough water, you’ll be holding on to toxins.

You’re totally ignoring your mental health

This is something we’re all guilty of. Mental health is as relevant to weight loss as physical health, and you can’t achieve sustainable weight loss without overcoming certain mental barriers and blocks. You need to focus on your mental well-being, whether through hypnosis, meditation or through other self-care habits and practices; it’s important that you focus on your mental health as you lose weight. Managing anxiety, depression, stress, and other challenges is crucial.
