14 Reasons Why You Are Not Losing Weight!

13. Lack of time

People are busy, you I’m sure are too. Sometimes it feels that there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done, and in fact there aren’t! But there is always enough time to get the most important things done, and making the decision that your health is a priority can help.

You might find that if you schedule healthy behaviours like working out, shopping for healthy food, or planning your week into your calendar, you will find a way to work out the rest in the time left over.

Keep in mind that often things take a lot less time that what we think they will, and that the more often you do something, the easier it becomes and the less time it takes. Planning a week of meals might take an hour the first time, but after a few weeks you might find it’s only 5-10 mins because you have all the recipes already.

14. Lack of support

The last barrier which is often overlooked is the support of the people around you. Perhaps it’s the opinion of a family member that you are fine just the way you are, or another who doesn’t want the changes you are making to intrude on their way of life. It could be a negative coworker, or even just a friend who are themselves unmotivated and this rubs off on you.

Getting the support of those around you and being specific about why you are doing this (to feel healthy, get fit, or ward of lifestyle related disease), as well as the ways they can help you. Being encouraging, not bringing tempting unhealthy foods home, keeping you accountable are some great ways your support network can help.

A Word From Our Mentor At FITrebel

Our mentor at FITrebel Dr Bhanu Abohari, a renowned weight-loss & fitness expert says,

              "Remember, attaining and maintaining a healthy weight is a marathon, not a sprint. In the same way that one day of healthy eating won't undo a month of less healthy choices, the reverse is also true."
                     "Take advantage of opportunities in your day-to-day life to make nutritious choices. Balancing your lifestyle with regular physical activity and stress management techniques can go a long way in feeling your best at any weight."
