Why aren't you losing weight?

Maybe you are following the diet to the letter. With all the instructions and avoiding every temptation that appears along the way. If so, congratulations, it requires a determination that sometimes seems superhuman to me. You are surely seeing the results of this incredible effort. But if you are not losing weight, then this blog is for you. Why aren’t you losing the weight you were supposed to lose? If you think you are doing everything right, maybe you need to review some of what I leave you here:

• If in the morning you are having an omelette made of pure egg whites for breakfast, this is where the problem could be. Sure, yolks have the most calories in an egg, but they also contain half the protein content of the egg and essential nutrients like choline, which helps you lose weight and maintain a healthy metabolism. If you’re still worried about calories, mix a whole egg with two egg whites and you’re done.
• Cutting out sugar and calories may seem like a foolproof way to lose weight quickly, but you have to understand that diet sodas are not the solution! A Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine study found that artificial sweeteners found in “light” or “sugar-free” foods and drinks can actually make you gain weight and give you an almost insatiable sweet craving.
• When you are trying to lose weight, high intensity interval exercise is the best option. Stable or more moderate cardio may be your favorite option in the gym. But if you change the treadmill for a Tabata class, you will see results faster. What you need are short sessions of intense exercises and a short recovery period.
• If you generally crave something that you know is not the best option for losing weight, don’t leave it out of your diet completely. Abstaining from your favorite foods will only make you feel restricted and this will surely annoy you. If you’re craving some chocolate chip cookies or chips, keep your portions under control and drink plenty of water. Don’t do it whenever you feel like it, learn to measure yourself.
• According to a study in the International Journal of Obesity, people who do not get enough sleep have a BMI (mass index body) taller and a wider waist. Lack of sleep tends to cause an increase in stress and the fat-storing hormone cortisol. Aim for seven to nine hours of sleep each night to keep up with your weight loss. Don’t be discouraged and consider these little tips to get all the good out of your weight loss 🙂
