30 Seconds SummaryWhy You’re Not Losing Weight
- Weight loss may not be visible due to fluctuations in water weight; tracking weekly averages can provide a more accurate picture.
- Misreporting food intake is common, with inaccuracies in portion sizes leading to significant calorie underestimations.
- Lack of compliance with diet plans, particularly unaccounted snacking or off-plan eating, can sabotage weight loss efforts.
- Even if you’re compliant with your diet, an incorrect caloric intake assumption may impede weight loss; adjustments might be necessary.
- Medical conditions and medications can affect metabolism and appetite, but caloric deficit is still essential for weight loss.
- Continuous monitoring and adjustments based on your weight loss trends, dietary compliance, and possible health issues are key to achieving desired weight loss.
