7 Reasons You Are Not Losing Weight
Ready..
You are eating more than your daily calorie needs
You are stressed
You are depressed
You are not sleeping enough (more stress)
Your daily activity doesn't match your food intake to create a deficit
You have simply hit a plateaux
You are not drinking enough water each day (this should be the number 1 and something you should work on from the start of your weight loss plan)
Now... weight loss is about the above
What about changing your body shape and not just getting smaller through losing weight
It is always published that it is 80% (or 70% in other places) diet and 20% (and 30%) in other places) training...
The truth is weight loss is 100% diet
It is why slimming clubs are so successful
As their focus is on on WEIGHT LOSS
But if you want to change your body shape
I mean really change... not just shrink
You must lift weights
Not like the pointless article recently in the press saying bands are just as good as dumbbells
It is articles like that which make people suffer longer
Take a tour of a gym
In the corner you will always see;
Plates
Bars Dumbbells
Benches
Racks
Surrounded by this will be machines which can be used for assistance work
But the truth is your core workout needs to be focused around a strength based program
On top of the 7 reasons above about why you are not losing weight
Remember this
Eat to lose weight
Lift to change your body shape
Quick foot note: depending on how in depth you go with your food will determine the exact changes in your body composition
For this article I am just talking about calories in general
