Stress
One of the leading causes of frustration in weight loss, most people don’t even know stress is preventing them from losing weight! You can eat all the right foods, do all the right workouts and still not lose any weight. In fact, your diet and exercise may make you gain weight. The reason is a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is very anabolic to fat, meaning promoting it’s growth, and catabolic to muscle, meaning promoting the break down.
Food/Drink
Getting consistent balanced vitamins and nutrients is the best known scientifically proven way to lose weight. Just about every diet on the market will help you lose water weight, but does very little to help you lose fat. You want to lose fat, not weight. If your waist dropped by 10 inches and you still weighed the same, would you care about your weight? No, it’s because you lost the fat. Most people will need to increase their fiber to meet their carbohydrate intake, or cut down on carbs to meet their fiber intake. Either way, this small change can yield much better results.
Exercise
MOVE! Move around more, start doing things. Going for a 20 minute walk will help in the beginning, but you need to challenge you muscles to see any changes in body composition. Go to the gym, join a recreational sports team, get friends or family to join you. Just make sure to get you workouts in.
