Top 5 reasons you are not losing weight inspite of exercising. 1.Not exercising at the right intensity-Intensity matters the most while doing cardio.How you do your cardio?matters the most.How exerted are you?is essential for fat metabolism and weight loss.On a scale of 1 to 10 denoting perceived exertion,be somewhere around 5 to 8. 2.Eating too many carbs-Carbohydrates are source of energy but if eaten in excess get converted and stored as fat.The rule is to have your carbs before sunset and avoid carbs at night. 3.Doing only cardio-Most people think cardio will help them in losing weight.Infact with excess of cardio one loses muscle mass which reduces the bmr.If you want to lose weight then lift weights.Weight training builds lean body mass which increases the bmr and caloroe expenditure. 4.Not adding variety to your workout-Doing the same workout program for years will stop giving results.Your body gets into a comfort zone and needs to be challenged to get results.Shake up your workout-add variety,increase your rep range or weights,push yourself to walk faster,use different training principles to get results and avoid plateaus. 5.Mindless Eating-Weight loss is a combination of diet,exercises and mental training.Many a times,several people are unaware about what they eat.They eat while driving,watching tv,reading,talking on the phone etc and sometimes even to supress emotions.Be present to what you eat,how much you eat and maintain a journal.Journalising your diet is a great tool for weight loss.
