10 Reasons Why Your Weight Isn’t Dropping
- Not Enough Protein
During weight loss periods, it’s important to increase your protein intake, especially high-quality proteins like eggs, fish, and soy milk. If you’re not getting enough protein, fat burning will slow down, and it’s especially important to have more protein at breakfast.
- Incorrect Exercise
Both too much and too little exercise can hinder fat loss. Less than 30 minutes of exercise is ineffective for burning fat, while more than 90 minutes of exercise is excessive.
- Love for Fruit
You shouldn’t rely on fruit as a meal or eat it in excess. Fruits contain fructose, which can contribute to weight gain, and it’s best to avoid eating fruit right before bed.
- Not Soaking Your Feet

Many people struggle with weight loss due to excess moisture in their bodies. Soaking your feet before bed can help expel moisture, boost metabolism, and, combined with exercise, accelerate weight loss.
- Insufficient Water Intake
Burning fat requires a lot of water. Make sure you drink 2000-2500 milliliters of water each day. If you’re not drinking enough water, it can hinder fat breakdown.
- Monotonous Exercise Routine
If you stick to just one type of exercise for too long, your body will adapt and fat burning will slow down. Vary your exercise routine to keep it effective.
- Staying Up Late
Frequent late nights can disrupt your endocrine system, slow down metabolism, and make it difficult to lose weight. Plus, staying up late affects leptin levels.
- Monotonous Diet
During weight loss, it’s important to vary your meals. Choose different types of meat and vegetables for each meal and avoid eating the same food every day, like eating chicken breast every day.
- Heavy Seasonings
A diet high in oil, salt, or spice can negatively impact fat loss and weight control. Aim for a bland diet and reduce processed foods.
- High Stress and Poor Mood
High stress and anxiety can disrupt normal hormone levels, increasing cortisol and leading to overeating, which is detrimental to weight loss.
