“I’M IN A DEFICIT BUT I’M NOT LOSING WEIGHT”

"I'M IN A DEFICIT BUT I'M NOT LOSING WEIGHT" Does this sound like you?

I hate to break it to you but you are most likely not in a deficit, and here's what I mean...

are you counting your liquid calories?

are you counting all your sauces?

are you counting oils & butter?

you weren’t tracking well before so it’s harder to gauge if you are actually in a deficit

Make sure these are all in check.

Many people believe they are in a caloric deficit when they're not, leading to frustration. It's important to understand how to accurately track your intake. To identify if you're truly in a deficit, pay attention to all sources of calories, especially from liquids, sauces, oils, and butter. Often, these can significantly add to your daily caloric intake without being counted. Here are some effective tracking strategies: 1. **Educate Yourself on Liquid Calories**: Many beverages contain hidden calories. Whether it’s juice, smoothies, or even flavored waters, they can contribute to your total caloric intake. 2. **Use a Food Scale**: Weighing your food can provide a clearer picture of your caloric consumption compared to estimating portion sizes. 3. **Track Everything**: It's easy to forget small items like dressings, spreads, or snacks. Make it a habit to track everything you consume. 4. **Regularly Update Your Tracking Methods**: If you've been using the same method for a while, consider switching to a new app or technique to ensure you're not overlooking any details. 5. **Consult with a Nutritionist**: If you’re still unsure how to properly track your intake, a professional can provide personalized guidance suited to your weight loss goals. Implementing these suggestions can help you gain a better understanding of your caloric needs and how to effectively manage weight loss.
