We have all been there…
Whether you are trying to lose weight, gain muscle, gain strength. You stall and can’t figure out why…
Let’s take a look at your day to day..
1. I workout 7 days a week - lifting and running. My weight loss has stalled. I’m working so hard, I don’t understand why.
Working out that hard, that many days a week is actually working against your progress. Your body has no time to rest and recover, your cortisol levels are through the roof because your body is constantly under a state of stress. Try cutting back to 4-5 days a week with shorter sessions and see if that helps :) This is the same with gaining strength, if your body is constantly fatigued it’s impossible to feel fresh and hit PRs, you need more rest days!
2. I’m eating 1,000 cals a day but I still can’t lose weight
1000 cals a day is what my toddler eats a day.. your body is in a constant state of starvation so when you do eat, it holds on to food and stores it as fat because it’s not sure when you will feed it again. Our bodies are creatures of habit.. feed it whole natural foods every 2-3 hours and you will be amazed how it responds and how you feel!
1. I workout so hard, I eat right. I don’t know why I can’t lose any more weight.
Do you track your calories/macros? How much sleep do you get? How much water do you drink? How many steps do you get? Are you stressed out? Are you over training?
There are so many reasons we can plateau and sometimes it’s taking a look at your day to day and pin pointing what exactly is causing this and just being real with yourself!
On that same note… remember… weight loss is not linear, gaining strength is not linear and neither is gaining muscle mass.
We can’t lose weight for the rest of our lives nor gain strength.
This is time you have to make realistic goals for yourself, where do you actually want to be? Are you just chasing results or are you valuing the progress you have made?
If your progress has platued and you need help understanding why… please reach out!
