Exercising but the Scale isn’t Moving?

10/15/2018

​You’ve added exercise to your weight loss plan and you’re committed. So why is the scale not moving, or even going up? This can be very frustrating but don’t despair; there are many reasons why…

  • The type of training you’re participating in may be a big factor. Cardio is a great tool for weight loss and is certainly good for your health, but if you’re not including strength training in your workout routines - you should. Building muscle mass helps your body to keep burning fat long after you’re done working out.
 
  • You may not be fueling your body properly. Avoid severe calorie restriction and be sure to include high-quality, nutritious foods in your daily meals. Your body needs fuel to burn, without this fuel your body will go into conservation and not want to let go of any weight.
 
  • You must take time for recovery. With a serious exercise routine you need to take the time for rest days, this allows your muscles and tissues to repair. Also you must include stretching into your routine.
 
  • It’s been said over and over. You must have a healthy sleep routine to make sure your gains are kept. This is another time your muscles are recovering from your workout.
 
  • Too many processed carbs. You may be surprised how many carbohydrates you actually eat in a day. Although carbs are great for fueling you through your workouts (some healthy complex carbs pre-workout are great), be sure that you’re including plenty of high-quality protein and healthy fats into your meals as well. Figure out your daily macronutrients (Carbs/Proteins/Fats) this will help you to include the proper foods into your diet.
 
  • Eating to match your calorie burn. First of all you could be overestimating how many calories you’re burning and eating more than you actually burned. This cannot be stressed enough, be sure to track your everything that goes into your mouth, food, water, drinks, including alcohol, and snacks, (MyFitnessPal is a great tracking app!). Secondly, stay at your recommended calorie intake regardless of your calorie burn.
 
  • Be sure to drink enough water throughout your day. Drinking water helps weight loss by helping your body to carry out metabolic processes, flush your system and help ease cravings.
 
  • Not being honest with yourself. It is imperative that you are self-aware enough to know that what you may eating isn’t good for you, or it’s just too much food. Are you in fact taking the necessary steps to reach your weight-loss goal? Only you know.
