Reasons your weight loss plan isn't working...

I was writing an article for the website the other day called "20 reasons why your weight loss plan isn't working"...

I was highlighting them and providing actionable information...

There are something's you know you need to do and maybe it's not the right time now, or you have got too comfortable with where you are now...

But what's worse is when you reach the point where you desperately want to take action, or have taken action but it's not having the desired effect...

So here is a couple of shortened snippets from the article;

Losing weight and changing shape are different things, can you change shape without losing weight? Oh Yes!
So the scales may indicate no change, but you could still be losing fat, try measuring your waist and taking photos to compare as well as the scales over time...

You could be eating too many calories; the body weight measuring scales I use give me more measurements than just weight, one is how many calories the person burns at rest, everyone is astounded by the number, but studies show we all underestimate our calorie intake by quite a bit...

Lastly, maybe I'm biased but exercise is useful for increasing your metabolism and strength training in particular. You don't always need fancy equipment, the exercise sessions I have designed so far for my website use body weight only and can last under 30 minutes, useful if you are short on time...

Well, that was only touching the surface, look out in the future for a blog post called some reasons your weight loss plan isn't working 2 and so on...

Are you taking action to lose weight?

I always try and provide content on what I'm told face to face are the biggest challenges and what everyone needs the most help with...

Usually people who want to lose weight have already been bombarded with numerous messages, probably also had the frustration of investing energy into something that didn't bring about the right result at some point...


Many people say they want to lose weight, but when I ask "for what reason do you want to lose weight?"
I start to get a personalised idea...

If I was to ask would you like to feel better? Even look better? To feel better in the clothes you want to wear? To have more energy? To have better Health? To move well? To feel at your best ...

Most people would say yes...

However based on past history, do you expect to get results? Usually what we expect reflects in what we do...

There was a very famous, important book written a long time ago that stated "judge a tree by the fruit it bears"...

Not what the tree really wants or talks about or says it will do...

So as best you can with your own circumstances it's about what you do with the right information, the lifestyle you adopt, what you buy at the supermarket that you will consume, the food you can plan or even prepare - even if it's just having balanced snacks around for when you get hungry, how you can fit exercise in or or just opportunities to move more per day...

It's your lifestyle actions that will testify that you are serious about getting results...

Weight Loss Checklist.

Health and Weight Loss Nutrition is all about balancing and therefore stabilising blood sugar. 

Obviously there are foods (and drinks) that have to be eaten and consumed in moderation for any kind of weight loss result.  

Also for most of us (non athletes) this means decreasing high energy carbohydrates like bread, pasta, rice, potato and sugary breakfast cereals and eating more vegetables (low energy carbs) and sources of lean protein or vegetarian protein such as Lentils or Quinoa.

I can't believe anyone I help, doesn't have at least something for breakfast (it's a huge metabolism kick starter!)
If you aren't, start as soon as you can!
If you are, try and have less high energy carbs and more protein.

Drink more water, sip throughout the day. It Indirectly effects metabolism, every function in the body speeds up, so the body burns more calories. Your skin will look better too.

Snacking! Snacking is good! It's what you snack on that counts. Again go natural low high energy carb, higher protein. This decreases the chance of blood sugar dips that slow metabolism over time. Also increases metabolism.
