You’re eating “clean,” hitting the gym, and maybe even doing some cardio-but the fat isn’t budging. Frustrating, right? It’s easy to think “I just need to eat less and train more”-but that’s not always the answer. Here’s what might actually be stalling your fat loss: 🔹 You’re Overestimating Your Deficit - Just because you “feel” like you’re eating less doesn’t mean you’re actually in a calorie deficit. Hidden calories add up fast! 🔹 You’re Relying Too Much on Exercise - Training is great, but it’s not the magic bullet. Fat loss is mostly about nutrition, not how many calories your watch says you burned. 🔹 You’re Not Eating Enough Protein - Protein keeps you full, maintains muscle while dieting, and even burns more calories during digestion. If it’s too low, hunger and muscle loss can make fat loss harder. 🔹 You’re Not Managing Stress & Sleep - High stress and poor sleep disrupt hormones that control hunger, cravings, and fat storage. If you’re always tired and stressed, fat loss can slow big time. 🔹 You Expect Progress to Be Linear - The scale will fluctuate daily due to water, carbs, and hormones. The key? Trends over time. If you’re stressing over every scale change, you’re missing the bigger picture. 🔥 Now Over to You!
