Do you feel like you’ve done everything? --[Reported by Umva mag]

I’m sure you’re not alone with this one. You’re eating all the right foods and following your plan down to the finest details. However, when you step on the scales for your weekly weigh-in, nothing has changed. You’re disappointed but put it down to water weight and move on.
The next week comes and you get the same results again. Are we sounding familiar? When it comes to weight loss, this is an incredibly common pattern. There are a whole host of reasons why you’re not losing weight.
What is important is that you don’t become disheartened and that you actively change your routine to start seeing results again.
So, let’s get to it and see what you can do.
Don’t obsess over the number on the scales
A reason that you may feel that you’re not getting anywhere with your weight loss is that you’re over-checking your weight on the scales. Your weight fluctuates all the time, you may weigh 3 or 4lbs more at the end of the day just because of the food you’ve eaten.
To get the most accurate result, it’s best to weigh yourself once a week at around the same time. However, more important than the number on the scales is your body measurements.
Make sure you’re drinking enough water

One of the most important things you can do when trying to lose weight is drink water, and plenty of it. Water acts as an appetite suppressant, can help to boost your metabolism, and helps prevent water retention. We know that may sound crazy, but drinking more water actually helps you drop pounds in water weight.
Choose healthier snacks
Most of the time you’re doing a great job with your meals and workouts. But, it’s those little “not so healthy” snacks that become irresistible once your day is over. Chips and chocolate are packed with empty calories and so high in sugar and fats.

Instead, go for healthier snacks that have fewer calories and are more nutrient-dense. Not only does this mean you’ll stay on track, but this type of snack will leave you feeling full for longer.
Overcome weight loss plateau
Hitting a plateau is very common when losing weight. You’ve had great results each and every week and now, nothing. In order to overcome this, you’ll need to take a look at your calorie intake. As you lose weight, your body will require fewer calories than it did before.
Take a look at your portion sizes
Whilst it’s encouraged that you pack loads of veggies, healthy carbs, and protein in your balanced diet, it’s also easy to get carried away. Your delicious, low-calorie meal can quickly turn into more of an indulgence if you have too large a portion.
To avoid this happening, make sure that you weigh your food, paying close attention to carbs and protein. Doing this allows you to be fully aware of what you’re eating and giving your body.
Work on your sleep routine
Sleep is vital to our health and well-being. However, it also plays an important role when it comes to your weight loss journey. Getting good quality sleep allows your body to rest and repair so that you can function fully.
Ensuring you can get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night will mean that your metabolism is raring to go and you have the energy you need to work out and get through each day.
Try and destress

As hard as it may be during this time, reducing stress will help you have a more successful weight loss journey. Research has suggested that weight gain can be the result of stress in many instances.
Your mental health and well-being are just as important as your physical health, so it’s essential that you look after both. If you’re struggling to relax and switch off from your day, try getting away from the TV and taking a long bath or reading a new book. Adding a little more calm into your life can only be a good thing.
Don’t drink your calories
Whether you love a glass of wine on a Friday night or you’re a soda lover, it can be incredibly easy to consume too many calories through drinks. Sodas and fizzy drinks are packed with sugar and alcoholic beverages contain empty calories which usually end with your raiding the kitchen afterward.

Pay close attention to what you drink and always choose water where possible. Black coffee and herbal teas are fine too, and if you want to jazz up your water, try adding your favorite fruit.
Get enough protein
Protein is essential to your diet as it is what keeps you full and it helps you to build muscle. When you’re not eating enough of it, you could stop losing weight. So, make sure you’re getting enough protein into your meals and snacks is vital to you hitting your weight loss goals.
If you’re feeling a little lost on protein-rich foods, here is a list of the best sources for you:

Lean poultry
Eggs
Milk
Yogurt
Nuts and seeds
Lentils
Fish and seafood
Soya
Tofu and tempeh

However, it’s important that you remember that the number on the scales isn’t everything. Ensure you’re taking your body measurements to track your progress too. If you’re doing your workouts, drinking plenty of water, and controlling what you eat, you’ll smash your goal in no time.
