The real reason you're not losing weight and what to do to fix it | weight loss blog | Nutrition
With so many diet fads and weight loss products on the market it would seem like it would be easy to loose weight wouldn't it?
So why are so many people struggling with it ?
Well it comes down to a few things which i will explain in more detail but a few of the basic key factors are this .
- Being to lazy ( not exercising enough or at all)
- Not eating correctly or knowing the basics of nutrition and calories
- Giving up to soon- to notice real changes will take months! a lot of people lose a few pounds and give up before the real results start to show - if you stick at it with a proper diet plan and exercise plan you will get there. its a long term commitment , a life style change not a over night cure.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The science behind losing weight is simple really if you get it correct you will loose weight - calories eaten vs calories burned .
You need to burn more calories than you consume and be at a calorie deficit
Basics - men need 2500 calories a days just to maintain there body
women need 2000 calories a day .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So just to stay the way you are and maintain what you have you need between 2000-2500 calories a day...
The average women needs 1,500 calories per day to lose one pound of weight per week. Meanwhile, the average man needs 2,500 calories to maintain, and 2,000 to lose one pound of weight per week.
However, this depends on numerous factors. These include age, height, current weight, activity levels, metabolic health, and several others.
A lot of people who want to loose weight see the latest diet fad or supplement and think ' just take this and this weight will drop like magic' they continue without a proper meal plan or exercise regime and wonder why if anything there putting on weight not losing it ! remember CALORIES BURNED VS CALORIES CONSUMED you need to be in calorie deficit.
Do fat burners and fat burning juices work ? Right lets get this straight , they are a supplement! they are a addition to your lifestyle changes to help you loose weight, if you eat right and exercise they will assist you! yes they will work!, they will enhance your metabolism and help you but they aren't a magic pill or potion, this is coming from some one who sells these for a living,- i stock and sell fat burners but i don't actively push them main reason being 80% of the people that buy them are looking for quick fixes and aren't making the right changes and taking the right action all i hear then is negativity -
Do you need fat burners and juices to loose weight- NO just reign in your diet and do some exercise that all you need to do, all the other stuff are supplements they are a extra to help, they will work and enhance your weight loss if used as a supplement not a magic pill or potion

Hidden Calories
Hidden calories are a BIG Reason for many people , a lot of people don't account for the extra calories in sauces which they cover there healthy salad in they may as well of had a bag of chips/fries.
Coffees and takes away's are another huge factor in the struggle , look below at costa coffee (remember you want to be aiming for 1500 calories women 2000 for men to loose 1lb a week basic.)
you can see how if you grab a Costa every morning on the way to work soon adds up over the course of a week .
Another popular shop on the high street is Gregg's this is a eye opener ...
lets say you've just grabbed a morning coffee from Costas and went for a Caffe latte with massimo whole milk ,you've just added 283 calories to your intake to start,
Then mid morning you are in a rush so you grab a quick snack from Greggs as you haven't had time for breakfast and have another large latte this time with a vanilla shot (258 calories) grab a steak bake (405 calories) and a sausage roll (327calories)
Your now on 1273 calories before you have got to lunch time..
Remember - calorie deficit.
can you see how these little snacks and hidden calories soon mount up ?

So what do i do?
