Inconsistent Exercise

Consistency is key when it comes to exercise. If you’re not sticking to a regular workout routine, it can be challenging to see results. Find activities you enjoy and create a schedule that works for you, making exercise a non-negotiable part of your daily routine.

Medical Factors

Sometimes, underlying medical conditions or hormonal imbalances can make you gain weight. If you’ve tried various approaches and are still struggling, it may be helpful to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying issues.

Lack of Sleep

Poor sleep habits can disrupt your metabolism and lead to weight gain. Aim for quality sleep of seven to eight hours per night to support your fitness efforts. Create a relaxing bedtime routine and prioritize restful sleep.

Unrealistic Expectations

Setting unrealistic expectations can lead to disappointment and frustration. Remember, getting fit is a gradual process and sustainable changes take time. Focus on progress, not perfection, and celebrate small victories along the way.

Drink Warm Lemon Water

Lemon water is often believed to be a weight loss remedy, especially when you drink it first thing in the morning. However, there’s no proof this actually works. You can still drink lemonade if you like it, but don’t expect any magic to happen.

Stop Eating Gluten

Unless you’re allergic to gluten, there’s no need to ban it from your diet. In fact, gluten is a protein and when it’s replaced with something else, that food is often less healthy. Read the labels and make informed decisions instead of falling for marketing tricks.

Completely Avoid Carbs

Carbs have an important role in your body and they are great for keeping you full for longer, so it’s not realistic nor healthy to avoid them completely. You can be mindful about the type of carbs you eat, as foods like sugar and white flour won’t keep you full for longer and will mostly provide empty calories. But foods like potatoes, rice, and whole-wheat bread are much better choices.

Start Slow

Sometimes the gym can be an intimidating place and if you are feeling out of shape and are worried about what people will think of you then start walking. Try walking 20 minutes outside then each time add more time and see how your body feels.

Drink Lots of Water

Carry a water bottle around with you at all times and drink lots during the day to keep you feeling hydrated and it can curb your hunger. Most of the time when you feel hungry you are actually thirsty and need more water.

Change Your Mindset

You have to really want it, if you are half-hearted about losing weight then you will never reach your goal. Set realistic goals each week for both food intake and workouts. You will reach them if you really want to.

Social Media Can Help

Search for other people who are on weight loss journeys and follow them for inspiration and motivation. These people can help you to be accountable to reach your goals. Start posting about your journey and start your own community.

Healthy Snacks

Always make sure you have snacks with you so you aren’t tempted to buy something unhealthy when you are out for the day or at work. There are so many healthy snack options available that you can bring with you to keep you feeling full and curb your sugar cravings.

If you use gum to distract yourself from feeling hungry after meals and to curve cravings, then gum may help you stay on track of your nutritional goals. Chewing gum after meals or when you’re bored can get rid of the desire to eat sweets after meals. If you’re someone who snacks in between meals, chewing gum can be used as a way to prevent this.

On the other side, gum often contains sugar-free sweeteners which can make your brain think you’ve consumed sugar, but there’s no spike in your blood sugar, which can be dangerous. This, in turn, can make you feel hungry and lead to overeating. If your aim is to replace gum with actual food, you’re going to eventually get hungry and restricting your food always leads to overeating.

The takeaway message is that chewing gum isn’t a weight-loss tool, but for some people, it cuts down cravings and for others, it can be a trigger for overeating. We hate to break it to you, but the best way to lose weight is always a healthy diet and regular exercise. Unforanetly, there are no shortcuts on a weight loss journey.

Ultimately, weight loss is all about a caloric deficit. As long as you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. Of course, there are some other factors that can affect this process, but this is true most of the time. Now, in order to lose a pound of fat, you need to make a deficit of 3,500 calories. This means you will either eat less, move more, or combine the two. There are apps that can help you calculate how many calories you need to stay at your current weight (TDEE – Total Daily Energy Expenditure), so you’ll know where you’re starting from.

Let’s say that you want to subtract 1,000 calories per day in order to lose weight. You can do it by eating 500 calories less than your TDEE and burning 500 more through exercise or other activity. By doing this, you can expect to lose 2 pounds per week and this is a healthy pace for almost everyone. This means that you can expect to lose around 8 pounds per month in the healthiest ways possible.

Skipping Breakfast

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day and if you skip it, you will likely eat more by the end of the day. Not only that, but you’re also more likely to binge on unhealthy, calorie-packed food. While skipping breakfast (or any meal) can seem like a logical way to eat less, it will probably backfire by the end of the day.

Slow Metabolism

Unfortunately, some people just have a slower metabolism and need to work harder to lose the same amount of weight compared to the others. This is often due to genetics and there’s nothing that you can do to change it.

Sleeping Habits

Eating right and exercising is often not enough for efficient weight loss. If you don’t get enough sleep, your body will be too tired for regular exercise and you’ll likely eat more, which will mess up the hard work you’ve been putting into the weight loss process.

Doubt the Scale

The number you see on the scale is not the only relevant thing when it comes to weight loss. For example, if you’ve been exercising and building muscles a lot lately, the scale may actually go up a few pounds, but you still might be losing fat and inches.

Avoid Stress

If work and life have you stressed, your body will produce more stress hormones and this can mess up your weight loss. Stress hormones basically make your body preserve itself and don’t let it lose any of the backup body fat.

Be Patient

If you’ve been honest with yourself, i.e. you’re eating healthy and exercising, there’s no reason to worry about weight loss. Not every week will be the same. Sometimes you’ll lose a lot and sometimes you’ll stay at the same number for a few weeks and that’s okay. Just give yourself time and trust the process!
