Are you frustrated with your weight loss progress despite doing everything right? Weight loss resistance is a common issue that many people face, especially when they’ve made significant lifestyle changes such as exercising more, cutting back on calories, and being mindful of their food choices. But why does it happen? In today’s episode, we’ll explore some of the most common reasons for weight loss resistance and what you can do to overcome it.

We discuss reasons like inaccurate calorie tracking, not consuming enough protein, doing too much cardio and not enough resistance training, disrupted circadian rhythm, adrenal and thyroid issues, blood sugar swings, and a high toxic load.

The oversimplification of weight loss or fat loss to calories in versus calories out equation can be frustrating and even damaging to those who are struggling with weight loss resistance. It can make them feel like they’re at war with their body, even when they’re doing everything right. It’s essential to identify the root cause of weight loss resistance and take targeted action to address it.
