You may be working really hard to lose weight to look your best this summer. But, if you don’t have the ball in the park, you may not be ahead in the game at all. Many are disappointed to find their weight scales go down despite exercising strenuously and starving themselves to sleep. While losing weight is not easy, it shouldn’t be unhealthy either. Here are a few reasons why you may not be losing weight despite exercising frequently.

You Are Not Eating Right

Any workout plans comes with its own nutrition plan that consists of the right ratio of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. If you are not committing to the right balance of these macronutrients, you are bound not to see the right results.

Eating right is not exactly packing as much protein as possible. Instead, you need to supplement with the right balance of complex carbohydrates and healthy fats to fuel your body with enough energy to exercise and ensure your body retains essential nutrients and vitamins. Speaking of which, you need to eat plenty of fruits and leafy vegetables and eliminate danger foods, such as desserts, pizzas, and anything high in simple carbohydrates.

You Are Overeating

Even if you stick to eating the right type of foods, there is still a possibility that you are not losing weight simply because you are eating too much. You need to have an idea of how much calories to consume for your body and height on a daily basis. It’s simple math; if you exceed your daily calorie count more than you lose due to exercise, you will only gain weight. Be sure to have a rough estimate of how many calories you consume per meal and snack.

You Are Not Taking Rest Days

You can’t expect your body to perform well with the same intensity and performance everyday without any rest. Regardless of what exercise regimen you follow, you will need at least one day off to give your muscles, joints, and tendons enough rest to recover fully. It is perfectly normal for professional weight trainers to take two days off in a week. Be sure to take at least one day off in your weekly schedule to allow your muscles and body to restore strength.

You Have Hit a Fitness Plateau

If you are doing the same set and intensity of exercises week in and week out, it will only be a matter of time when your body hits a fitness plateau. This is where you body adapts to the exercise routine and is no longer pushed enough to engage your muscles to induce fat and weight loss. You will need to change your rearrange your fitness schedule by increasing your workout intensity or weight load or increase your calorie intake to overcome this.

You Are Not Getting Enough Sleep

Sleep is essential to your exercise. Your body needs 6-8 hours on a daily basis to replenish energy and recover muscles to full to be able to undergo strenuous exercise the following day. If you only get 4-5 hours of sleep, you will fail to see weight loss.
