If you’re constantly working out but not losing any of the weight off, there could be some secret underlying reason why it’s not happening. Here are 10 potential reasons:
Whether its artificial sugars or the natural sort found in juices, hidden sugars are everywhere and they’re a great hindrance to your weight loss plan.
Once you’re done working out, you probably think it’s a-okay to eat even more to reward yourself but majority of the times, you’re overestimating the calories you’re eating.
Some foods contain more calories than others, even if they don’t look like it so make sure you understand your food groups and the calories they contain.
By chewing food properly, you’re allowing food to flow through your digestive tract easier making it easier for your body to absorb the much needed nutrients easily.
Losing weight is a constant process so if you’re just sticking to doing one intensive workout in a week instead of spreading out your workouts to maximise its benefits, you’re less likely to lose weight.
When your body is dehydrated, it tends to retain water even more as a defence mechanism. Not only will you feel more bloated, you’ll also gain weight easier.
When you’re not eating enough, your body’s metabolism rate won’t function properly. And when your body isn’t metabolising food enough, it thinks that it’s not getting any food and as such, goes into fat-saving mode to protect your body.
We know working out takes proper discipline but keep focus and continue working out to really get the benefits of your workouts.
Before working out, make sure you’re getting enough proteins and fibre so it’s lighter on your tummy.
Once again, it’s important to eat regular meals a day instead of snacking on high-calorie foods so your metabolism stays happy.
