It happens that a person tries his best to lose weight, but some unknown force prevents him, and the desired result remains unattainable.

In fact, this phenomenon is not a natural phenomenon. Rather, there was a mistake somewhere, and by eliminating it, everything can be fixed.

Let's find out what mistakes most often prevent you from losing weight.

One of the authoritative Russian doctors, Alexander Myasnikov, warns that over the years the hormonal system adapts to excess weight.

And when a person starts to lose weight, the body tries to maintain the weight at its usual level. That is why losing weight is especially difficult in the first months, as hormones resist.

The most common reason is snacks. Not everyone remembers about snacks: a banana, an apple, a handful of nuts, a cup or two or three of coffee with milk. Each of them is 200–500–600 calories. Therefore, make it a rule to keep a food diary or simply download any appropriate application, there are many of them now, — nutritionist Katerina Kuzina advised in an interview with NEWS.ru.

In addition to snacking, monotonous diet, poor sleep, hormonal imbalance and malnutrition can also prevent you from losing weight.

Fasting also has the opposite effect, as the body adapts and metabolic processes slow down.

By reducing the norm from 2000 to 1300 calories, a person will immediately notice the effect. But it is better to reduce the number of calories and include sports in the daily routine, which speed up metabolism. While fasting slows it down.

It is important to diversify your diet, as a monotonous diet causes a deficiency of nutrients and vitamins.

The nutritionist also recommends monitoring hormonal levels and avoiding sleep deprivation.
