30 Seconds Summary
Why 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.

  • Continuous monitoring and adjustments based on your weight loss trends, dietary compliance, and possible health issues are key to achieving desired weight loss.
