Hey friends! 👋🏼 Here are 9 reasons you might experience stalled weight loss. Which are your biggest problems? 🤔 . 🔥 Some of the most common questions I get involve weight loss! There is so much confusion when it comes to losing weight. But really, if that’s your goal, on the surface, the process should be quite simple. Unfortunately today we are saddled with stress, sleep debt, and a food supply that often seems intent on working against us. . 💪🏼 I made this simple graphic to highlight some of the less obvious ways you may be holding on to extra lbs. . 🍃 Perhaps the most effective way to lose weight is to *not* go on a diet but to shift your lifestyle toward healthier habits. Yes, cutting out starchy carbs and processed foods which drive your hunger is a great primary strategy. But lifestyle also plays a major role in how our hormones regulate our weight. . 🥐🍞🥖 While any calorie deficit will lead to weight loss, lowering carbs keeps your hunger more stable by allowing your blood sugar to stay consistent. And, it allows you to enjoy higher levels of growth hormone which helps to preserve your muscle. . 🥚🍗🍖 Increasing your protein not only induces greater satiety than fat and carbs but it stimulates muscle protein synthesis and also provides a greater thermic effect which causes your metabolism to ramp up (this may provide low carb, higher protein diets with a slight “metabolic advantage” over lower protein moderate carb diets, but this is controversial). . 🥑🥥 And finally adding healthy fats to your diet is great for satiety and filling out your calories, but the calories in fat can still add up leading to a hypercaloric (more calories than you are burning though) state! . Double tap to let me know if this is helpful. 🤔 and if you have any questions, post them below! 👇🏼 • • • • #weightloss #weightlossjourney #girlswholift #cleaneating #fitspiration #fitnessmotivation #exercise #instafit #fitnessjourney #nutrition #getfit #gymlife #iifym #cardio #fitmom #fitnessaddict #abs #fitlife #fitgirl #gains #muscle #transformation #aesthetics #shredded #fitnessmodel #slimmingworld #weightwatchers #physique #weightlossmotivation #healthyeating
I bet the comments on this one are gonna be lit. 🔥 . Counting calories can be useful for some, such as to assess the energy content of calorie dense modern processed foods and to see how they fit within your energy balance. It can also help one get past a weight gain or loss plateau. But in general I think (and the research supports) that its less necessary when sticking to minimally processed foods that fill you up without providing excessive energy from combined sugar and fat. . Calorie counting is a new phenomena enabled by technology. But the calorie counts for foods are subject to a wide margin of error. Not to mention the “calories out” side of the energy balance equation is hard to measure and subject to flux based on hormones, musculature, activity levels, and more. . If calorie counting works for you by all means continue to do it! There’s no doubt that it can work. Just note that many of us get by (and achieve healthy bodies and the weight we desire) without it. . Here are some tips to make achieving an energy balance or even deficit (to help you lose weight) more effortless: ✅ Get more and better sleep ✅ Lift weights ✅ Stick to unprocessed veggies, whole fruits, and meat/fish/eggs ✅ Use nuts and seeds as toppings as opposed to snacks ❌ Avoid ADDED sugar and fats ❌ Avoid packaged, processed foods ❌ Avoid drinks with calories . Hope this helps. Love you guys ❤️ Max. Tag a friend to spread the truth 👇🏼 . #iifym #nutrition #gains #flexibledieting #cleaneats #paleo #lchf #geniusfoods
