Are you putting in countless hours working out just to see the number on the scale not move or worse…you’re gaining weight? It can be frustrating and sometimes, you just want to quit. Don’t give up! Keep reading and see if any adjustments can be made on your part.
YOUR WORKOUTS MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOUR GOALS AND YOUR BODY TYPE
We all have different body types so make sure your exercise program fits your goals. Recognize a bodybuilder, long-distance runner, cyclist, triathletes, swimmers, they all have different body types and shapes. So, make sure you fit your routine to your needs and most importantly keep building your muscles, bones, tendons instead of breaking them down.
YOU’RE NOT EATING ENOUGH
When you engage in an exercise program, your body needs fuel for energy. That means Food. Less is never better because you will end up breaking down muscle to convert into fuel for energy. This under calorie process will only leave your body into a starvation state. To keep your body burning fat and losing weight, you must eat to feed it. Choose High Nutrient, Low- Calorie Dense Foods and avoid processed foods. When you start exercising, you’re creating a caloric deficit already so, fewer calories mean less energy and your body will for sure go into a conservation mode. Walla, no weight loss or sometimes, you’ll even gain weight.
