Why am I not losing weight?
Hi,
I've been going to the gym about 3 times a week and swimming once a week for 1.5 months.
I'm 170 cm tall and weigh 80 kg. My weight hasn't changed. I eat normally (I've already compared what I eat compared to others, and it's within a good normal range), and I don't drink too many soft drinks. What am I doing wrong? Why am I not losing weight?
With such questions, I can only answer immediately. We don’t know you personally. You say you go to the gym three times a week, but the question is how long and what are you doing. For example, only easy or very cozy training then happens if necessary not much.
This statement can hardly be understood more generally. What’s the normal? This varies from person to person. Not everyone has the same metabolism and I also doubt that you have compared your diet properly with others. To compare yourself with others, you should weigh everything you eat the day, count calories, write down everything and then a person who does the same. Only in this way can you compare your calories with that of another person. Everything else doesn’t work.
Just remember yourself in the head what you have eaten and eat for feeling and then ask another person: “Hey what you have eaten” or look at the person so half, is not a comparison with which you can evaluate how much you eat and how much else you eat.
People also tend to snack some smallness that is then forgotten and not “count” as a meal or soft drinks are not included in the calculation. In addition, people usually have absolutely no idea how much calories different foods actually have.
Without writing up and weighing your food and calories, I wouldn’t trust anyone if he told me how much or little he eats. Likewise invalid are then assessments like “I eat normally”.
If you don’t take off, there are two ways for me:
You’re building on muscle mass that compensates for your fat loss. Say you still weigh 80 kg but of it is a certain percentage now stop muscles. This is quite possible if you do motor sports. Other possibility is that you do not eat as normal as you think of yourself. To check this, I would calculate your calorie requirement, then remove 100kcal-200kcal from it and eat it the day. But you should start tracking your diet.
The best thing is to make pictures regularly, because sometimes you don’t see any change on the scale and for that all the more in the mirror. Apart from that, muscles weigh more than fat.
It’s best to have a dietary diary, because you can’t answer the standard here. In order to take off, you have to get into a calorie deficit means burn more calories than you take. I would recommend you a nutritional app that is compatible with a fitness app. This gives you an overview of your diet/calorie and what you burn.
If you train well, the fat is converted into muscle mass.
