Trying to Lose Weight with No Luck?

Hello everyone!

As we are getting into March now, many of us who made New Year's resolutions to lose weight are realizing that it either hasn't happened, or we haven't lost as much as we wanted.  Very often we are doing everything "right" as far as we know too.  It can be so frustrating to not see those results after so much hard work.

As some of you know, I follow Mark Sisson (big name in the Paleo lifestyle/diet), and his daily blog today talked about things that you may or may not be doing that affect weight loss.  He brings up a lot of great points including:  1. Mindless eating,  2. Too much pleasure food,  3. Eating too little,  4. Stress,  5. Too much focus on diet,  6. Too much exercise,  7. Nutrients and exercise are mismatched, 8. Regular meal times, and 9. Being at a healthy weight already!

Here is the link to the full article:

Try making a few modifications that he mentions and see if things change for you.  In clinical practice, I often see lots of clients who are culprits of #3- eating too little, and #6- too much exercise.  Metabolism definitely plays a big role in weight maintenance, so I think those two things are key here!  Enjoy!

Yours in health,
