| There could be several reasons why you are not losing weight. If you are exercising regularly, you are building muscles. Muscles weigh more than fat and your weight loss may slow down because of it. However, muscles also help you burn fat faster and more efficiently, so don't give up the exercise. You may still be losing inches as your weight continues to hover around the same mark.
I would say this..... Stay off your scale. Weigh once a week at the very most. Weight can fluctuate greatly during a day or two.
Continue on your diet plan, but don't make it so rigid that your body thinks it is starving. If your diet plan is to rigid, your body will start to store fat.
Plateaus are hard to figure out in weight loss. Just stay on course and obviously watch your blood sugar. Watch calories as well as carbohydrates. You need to burn more calories in a day than you consume to lose weight. There are several calorie calculators online for you to just plug in your age, weight, activity level and several other statistics. This will give you a good idea of how many calories you need to eat to lose weight.
Don't give up. Your doing great! |
