12 Reasons Why You May Not Be Losing Fat
And What to Do to Fix Them All Fast
1) You’re Eating Too Many Calories
This should be pretty obvious to most people, but there are still those who are claiming that you can eat all you want as long as you go Keto, manipulate insulin, and avoid carbs.
That’s just not true. It’s like arguing whether or not there is gravity. At the end of the day, you need to be in a caloric deficit to lose fat. It’s the fundamental law of thermodynamics.
If your body weight is not coming down over time and you want to get leaner, you are simply eating too many calories compared to what you are burning off. Break out some measuring cups and a food scale for a couple of days and you will see your portions are more than you need. Most people eat way more than they think they do. Snacks, sips, licks, and bites all count.
Eating less is challenging at first sure. That’s why most people look for another answer. But it’s 70% of your weight loss results and anything worth accomplishing will be challenging especially at first.
When you’re not losing fat the way you want to the solution is pretty simple (not necessarily easy, but simple). Eat a little less food.
