Mark's Daily Apple Tuesday, February 8, 2022 1:02 PM "I'm doing everything right, exercising and eating well. So why am I not losing weight?" That's the million dollar question, isn't it? Or rather, it's the $72 billion question, since that's how much the diet industry apparently rakes in. I've spent enough years talking about food and exercise to know how common weight-loss plateaus are. It's frustrating when something that seems like it should be simple isn't working for you. Let me start by challenging the assumption that weight loss is simple or easy. A 2007 report from the UK Government's Foresight Programme identified 108 factors that affect weight loss. Of course food and exercise are represented on the list in various ways, but so are genetic, economic, social, and psychological influences. That's why I roll my eyes when I hear people espousing "just eat less and exercise more" platitudes—as if it's that simple. Anyway, anyone who's bothering to ask the question that prompted this post already knows about eating less and moving more. They've probably tried multiple versions of eating "less" or "right" or "better," plus a variety of exercise protocols. Yet, they're still feeling stuck and frustrated. If this sounds familiar, don't lose hope. First, understand that weight loss ebbs and flows. Plateaus are normal, and sometimes they resolve themselves without any significant action on your part. If not, you can try pulling different levers to see if you can un-stick the gears. Without further ado, here are ten possible reasons you're not losing weight even though you're eating well and exercising: 1. "Eating well" doesn't necessarily mean eating for maximal leanness. To me, eating well means eating nutritious foods in an amount appropriate for your body. It doesn't mean following a diet that gets you totally shredded or maximally lean. Not necessarily anyway. The diet industry would have us believe that anyone can have the media-manufactured "perfect" (read: very lean) body with a simple eat less, move more approach. The truth is, some people are born with genes that allow them to achieve that look with minimal work. They're programmed to have a six-pack on display with only the barest coaxing. However, the majority of people who look like fitness models or action heroes work hard for their physiques. They are very methodical about what they eat and how they exercise, going far beyond what I would categorize as basic "eating well and exercising." It shouldn't be a surprise if you don't look like them if you're not putting in that level of effort. I'm not saying you should put in that level of effort. I'm saying check your goals and see if they're realistic given your current approach. If there is a mismatch, decide which one you're going to change. There's nothing wrong with implementing the Primal principles—doing your best to eat healthy foods, walk a lot, lift heavy things, sleep well, spend time in nature, and so on—and letting the cards fall where they may. Even if you don't end up with rock-hard abs, you'll … Continue reading "Why Am I Not Losing Weight?" The post Why Am I Not Losing Weight? appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
