Why Can't I Lose Weight?

Why Can't I Lose Weight?

How many times have you asked yourself this question when on a weight loss programme.

There can be many reasons why you are not losing weight, listed below are some guidelines you can follow which may help to kick start your body in losing weight: -

Are you drinking your 2 litres of water a day? This can speed up your metabolism.

Have you been stressed over a situation that has arisen? If so learn to relax and de-stress, this will allow your body to return to losing weight and get your digestion system working.

Are you exercising with weights? Try non resistant exercises and cardio work-outs. If your body is building too much muscle it will weigh heavier on the scales.

Are you sticking with your weight loss programme? Review your eating plan and write down what you are eating so that you can re-focus and get back on track.

Have you been drinking too much coffee or alcohol? This can slow down your metabolism (alcohol for up to 4 days).

Have you been doing your exercise? You need to do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, this can be walking, cycling, jogging, swimming or going to your local gym. Regular exercise will maintain a healthy mind and strong body and alleviate stresses that we encounter on a daily basis.

Are you motivated to lose weight? Losing weight can be easy or difficult for some people. Ask yourself, why am I not losing, am I motivated, why do I want to lose weight? In order to succeed you must have the right attitude and be prepared to set yourself goals. As with everything that we want to achieve in life you must be prepared to make an effort and work to towards your goals. Just like getting your dream job, studying a new course, saving up to buy a new car or house, these are all goals we set ourselves and prioritise for ourselves. Weight loss is no different. Anyone can lose weight with the right programme and eating plan, however it is up to the individual to take action and make it happen.

Success at weight loss is within reach if you want it. Stay focused, enjoy your programme, follow the rules and success will be yours. Remember the new slim you is waiting to shine through!
