You’re trying hard to eat healthy and maybe you’ve even started exercising. Maybe you saw some results at first or you just aren’t seeing the numbers on the scale go down. You’ve been feeling frustrated and starting to wonder why the hell you’re not losing weight. Here are 9 reasons why you are not losing weight. #1: You weigh yourself too often Weight fluctuates daily and in women it varies according to their monthly cycle. Stepping on the scale too often will inevitably result in weight fluctuations. #2: Snacks throughout the day Don’t you think a few bites here and there matter? Incorrect! Mindless snacking can rack up more than 1,000 extra calories per day. #3: You don’t exercise enough If you’ve started walking a little or moving more than usual, great, keep it up! But to lose weight and see more results, you must work toward the recommended amount of time you exercise. #4: You lack sleep Women who don’t get enough sleep are 32 percent more likely to experience significant weight gain. #5: Weekend Splurge You work hard on your healthy eating plan during the week, but the weekends are free and all your hard work is sabotaged by unlimited takeout, cocktails, and snacks. All these little sweets add up. #6: You underestimate calories Juice, regular soda, lemonade, and iced teas can add hundreds of unwanted calories when you’re trying to lose weight. Protein drinks and shakes are also hidden sources of hundreds of calories. #7: You overindulge in healthy foods Olive oil, nuts, seeds and avocados are very healthy foods. But each meal has a certain amount of calories and a portion that is appropriate for your body. #8: You reward yourself with food The classic mistake of saying “I just worked out for an hour and I deserve ice cream” will not get any reward. That 600+ calorie indulgence has many more calories than you just burned with exercise. # 9: You don’t know the correct diet You may think you know about nutrition and how to lose weight, but everything may be wrong. Maybe you search for the fad diet, or read about a magical food to help melt fat. These diets can be more harmful than healthy.
