Four Reasons You’re Not Losing Fat

 Fat loss can be a complicated subject to teach because there are so many possible limiting factors in a person’s ability to lose fat. 

• Exercise – which plays a huge role. 

• Diet – another major player. 

• Psychology – which is a stumbling block for many recreational exercisers. 

• Social – which many believe plays a massive, but unappreciated role. 

But what happens if you’ve got the diet and the exercise part; if your social support is great; your psychology on track… and you still can’t lose fat? 

Well, that’s when you want to dig deeper physiologically. That’s when you want to look to the 4 major physiological systems that could be holding you back. These include: 

1. Your oxygen delivery system 

2. Your blood sugar management system 

3. Your adrenal system 

4. Your digestive system 

It’s like planting a garden. Sunshine and water are requirements for a garden to grow, just like diet and exercise are necessary for fat loss. But even with all the sunshine and water in the world, your garden won’t grow if the soil is unhealthy. 

In other words, you can diet and exercise all you want and you can develop a strong social support circle, but, if your body — your soil — is not working properly, neither will your weight loss program. 

So let’s dig a little deeper and discuss the big 4 physiological situations that might be preventing you from losing fat.
