Why You’re Not Losing Fat (4 HIDDEN Mistakes You Don’t Realize You’re Making)
The best way to lose weight fast is to avoid overeating. Many people eat back the calories they have burned after an intense workout, especially if they have done cardio. This can prevent fat loss altogether. This is even worse, because people tend to significantly overestimate the calories they burn in a workout. Even machines designed to do so are not reliable and tend to overestimate the calories used up in a workout routine. A better method would be to set daily calorie limits and weekly workout routines and stick to them as you track your average weekly weight – you can decrease caloric intake or increase weekly cardio if you are not losing weight as quickly as you want to be.
What is another common mistake you might be making that is preventing you from losing body weight, including stubborn belly fat or love handles? Relying on the scale to tracking weight loss is a big mistake. If you are new to training, coming back from an extended leave, or just getting serious about working out, you may be losing fat and gaining muscle – this may look like a stable body weight. But in reality, you are undergoing body recomposition. If your waist girth has decreased, arm girth is greater, and you are lifting more in the gym, despite weighing the same amount, then you can rest assured that you are making progress and have replaced body fat, especially fat on the stomach with lean muscle mass.
It’s crucial that you take the time to track all the necessary variables along your journey. This is why in my Built With Science programs, you not only get step-by-step training and nutrition programs, but you’ll also get access to multiple tracking softwares that I’ve built so that you can easily track your workouts, your diet, and basically everything you need along your fat loss journey. Within the program you’re going to learn how to avoid making crucial mistakes that mean you are not losing weight. To join today, take the quiz below to determine what program is best for you:
