It can be incredibly frustrating and tiring when you’ve been eating right and exercising right, but there is simply no headway in getting your weight in check! Despite all that you’ve been putting in, if you haven’t been able to lose weight, there are some factors that you might be ignoring or neglecting in your weight loss journey. Here are some pointers to help you out.
– Make sure that you are eating enough lean protein in every meal, for neglecting protein can ensure that your weight remains unrelenting.
– Ensure that you get enough water in your system so that you can flush out toxins. Wherever possible, increase fluid intake. Dehydration leads to the retention of water, which causes bloating and storage of fat. Drink lots of water so that you flush out toxins, eradicate water retention and increase metabolism.
– Check if you have a vitamin and/or mineral deficiency. When you have a very strict diet, it is fully possible that micronutrients may grow inadequate. This can alter major bodily functions – fat storage is one of the common side effects of nutrient inadequacy. Make sure that you get adequate amounts of vitamin and mineral supplies.
– You might be having a hormonal imbalance of sorts. Keep an eye to see if your thyroid, i.e., your T3, T4 and TSH levels are in order. Even small imbalances can cause fluctuations in your weight – but they can be handled very easily through changes in your lifestyle and exercise regimens. On the other hand, there could also be a cortisol or adrenaline imbalance, where high stress levels can increment the hormone. In the process, it causes irritability, lethargy and an increase in appetite, leading to weight gain and storage of fat, especially around the abdomen and thighs, and such weight is often difficult to tackle with a diet and a workout.
