Intermittent fasting has become really trendy lately and tons of people have given it a try. While some people do it to help them focus others do it to lose weight. Many people end up losing weight because they’re limiting the times they’re eating, which reduces the calories they’re consuming. But sometimes, people don’t end up losing weight and when that happens, it’s really frustrating. Here are three reasons you may not be reaching your goals while intermittent fasting.
You’re Eating Too Much
During the time you can eat, you may be taking in too many calories, which will hinder you from losing weight. To see if you’re consuming more calories than your body needs, track what you’re eating in an app.
You Overestimate Serving Sizes
Do you pay attention to serving size? Chances are you’re not losing weight because you’re not looking at the serving size of what you’re eating and you’re eating too much of it. To get a better estimate of portion size, use a scale until you’re ready to eyeball what the serving should look like.
You’re Under Eating
If you’ve hit a plateau after losing lots of weight, you may not be eating enough calories. If you’re constantly not taking in enough calories, your body will learn to function on that amount.
