12 Reasons Why Your Weight Isn't Dropping

12 Reasons Why Your Weight Isn't Dropping

1. Inadequate Protein Intake:

During weight loss, ensure sufficient intake of protein,

especially from sources like eggs, fish, and soy milk.

Insufficient protein slows down fat burning,

particularly important to supplement at breakfast.

2. Using Large Bowls:

Eating from large bowls can lead to overeating due to past habits and a fear of wasting food, resulting in feeling overly full.

3. Skipping Dinner:

There's a misconception that skipping dinner aids weight loss.

While short-term weight loss may occur, resuming normal eating habits quickly leads to regaining weight.

4. Improper Exercise:

Both excessive and insufficient exercise hinder weight loss.

Less than 30 minutes of exercise is ineffective, while over 90 minutes is excessive.

5. Overconsumption of Fruit:

Fruit should not replace meals or be consumed excessively due to their natural sugars, especially avoid eating them before bed.

6. Neglecting Foot Soaking:

Regular foot soaking before bed, especially for those in humid environments, helps eliminate moisture,

boosts metabolism, and enhances weight loss when combined with exercise.

7. Inadequate Water Intake:

Fat burning requires ample hydration; aim for 2000-3000 milliliters of water daily.

Insufficient water intake hampers fat breakdown.

8. Monotonous Exercise:

Doing the same exercise regularly leads to the body adapting, slowing down fat burning. 

9. Late Nights:

Chronic sleep deprivation disrupts hormones, slows metabolism,

making it difficult to lose weight even with exercise and reduced food intake.

Late nights also affect leptin secretion.

10. Heavy Palate:

Diets high in oil, salt, or spice hinder fat loss and weight control. Opt for a light diet avoiding heavily processed foods.

11. Monotonous Diet:

During weight loss, vary your food choices daily to prevent monotony and ensure balanced nutrition.

12. Stress and Poor Mood:

High stress and anxiety disrupt normal hormone levels, increasing cortisol production, leading to binge eating.
