If you are cutting calories, fasting, cutting carbs, exercise and NOT seeing changes then doing more of that won’t work.

It tells me that there is something else going on in your body that is making your body SUCK at burning calories.

If your body is not good at burning calories that makes weight loss REALLY hard and weight gain REALLY easy.
