3 Reasons Why You're Not Losing Weight

Weight loss is not that difficult. You eat healthy, whole foods, you do cardio and lift weights, and you get enough sleep. But sometimes, there can be factors that can affect the weight loss process.

3. You Think You're Eating Healthy, but You're Not 

This is a big one for most people. A lot of people will have frozen dinners and on the label it claims to be healthy, but it really isn't. Or, they'll have diet sodas or reduced fat foods of what they used to eat and think that there eating well, but in reality they aren't. Try to stick with foods with 1 ingredient, like an apple, a chicken breast, or broccoli. At first, this may be tough for some people, and if it is for you, just be smart. Don't  think that diet soda is good for you, because it isn't. Eat and drink smart and you should be fine!

2. You Don't Workout Enough
  
A lot of people just simply are not in the gym enough. Walking 20 min a day 4 days a week is definitely good, but if you want to lose weight any time soon, crank it up. Instead, it would be much better biking 45 minutes a day 3 days a week, running for at least 20 min without stopping 2 times a week, and then walking the final two days. Plus keep in mind, you have to lift weights! The more muscles you have on your body, the higher your metabolism is which will help you burn more calories.

1. You Eat to Much

If you're not losing weight, chances are you're eating to much. Calories do matter! So don't snack at 12 a.m. in the morning on chips or ice cream anymore. Even if you aren't doing that, you could very well still be eating to much. I suggest breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, then your done! Sometimes at night you can be hungry. If you are some good choices are crackers and cheese, cottage cheese and pineapple, fruit, or yogurt.
