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.

Simple Ways to Improve your Mood

Over 100 million people in the world are dealing with depression and over 250 million people right now are in a bad mood. Are you one of those people? If so, here are some ways to get happier and be more energetic. 

Exercise. This is very important, not only physically but mentally as well. Exercising outdoors is normally better than indoors. When you exercise outdoors, you generally are more inclined to keep it up as well as more energetic. Not only that but if you live near a cool place and you decide to go for a run, the scenery is a nice little added bonus. Some cool activities to do outside are running, playing a sport like baseball or basketball, going for a bike ride, walking your dog, or if you live in a cold climate, try ice skating.

Eat. There are some foods that naturally improve your mood. Try eating some dark chocolate. Not only does it taste good, it is good for your brain and your heart as well as it is full of antioxidants. Also try apples with peanut butter, green tea, nuts, and a spinach salad.

Call Someone. If you call a family member or a friend and share a problem, you'll notice an immediate boost in your mood. Talking to someone who cares and shows an interest about you is something not everyone does, but it definitely helps. Also, why not go out to lunch with some members of your family or hang out with some friends. It is a great way to relax and have a good time, which will end up boosting your mood.

Help People. In my opinion, the absolute most effective way to improve your mood. Not only does it enhance your mood, you are being a good person, which is always a good thing, haha. Very simple things like holding the door open for someone or giving someone a great tip like a waiter can make a HUGE difference. I want you to check out this video below. It is a guy giving a homeless man 1,000 dollars. This video is so emotional and shows you that making positive differences in peoples lives is really what life is about, as well as relationships.
