Working hard but not seeing results? It’s frustrating—but often fixable. Here are 5 things that could be holding you back:

—

🍚 𝟏. 𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔

Even healthy food in large portions can stall weight loss. Measure servings, especially rice, starchy roots, and oils.

—

🥤 𝟐. 𝑺𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔

Soft drinks, sweet teas, and energy drinks pile on sugar and calories with no nutrition.

—

🛋️ 𝟑. 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝑴𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑬𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉

Even if you’re eating better, being sedentary makes it harder for your body to burn fat.

—

🧠 𝟒. 𝑻𝒐𝒐 𝑴𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔

Stress triggers fat storage—especially around your belly—by increasing cortisol levels.

—

💤 𝟓. 𝑷𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝑯𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒔

If you’re not sleeping deeply and regularly, your metabolism slows down.

⚖️ 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮—𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬

Tweak one thing at a time. Progress happens faster when you understand what’s really going on.
